Are you familiar with the federal regulation on telemedicine along with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) interpretive guidelines? CMS has conditions of participation (CoP) interpretive guidelines for all hospitals regarding their telemedicine standards. These were based on the federal regulations. The regulation and interpretive guidelines also impact hospitals accredited by the Joint Commission (TJC). This program will discuss the most problematic standards in the telemedicine interpretive guidelines.

The regulations cover the credentialing and privileging process for physicians and practitioners providing telemedicine services. This revised process is less burdensome which means it is now a less financial burden for hospitals. Attendees will learn all about the regulations and interpretive guidelines and the responsibilities of the board, medical staff and hospitals to ensure compliance with the regulations or ensure you are in compliance. Make sure your facility is in compliance with the regulations and interpretive guidelines.
