Any hospital that accepts Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements must follow the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) hospital interpretive guidelines. These regulations and interpretive guidelines must be followed for all patients in the hospital.
During this session information will be provided on how to better comply with new CMS regulations and guidelines, and how maintain compliance. Nursing staff will learn to better understand the medication and pharmacy standards since many of these standards apply to nursing. These include medication errors, adverse events, drug incompatibilities, self-administered medication, and required medication policies. By staff working together, issues with standards can be reduced or eliminated.
