CMS Survey Solutions Series 2017; Session #2: Surgical Services, Medical Records, Pharmacy & Others
Version: 2017
Are you expecting a Federal Survey soon from CMS? If you are Deemed Status you of course must follow the same Federal requirements set forth in the Medicare Conditions of Coverage (CfC). There are 4 types of surveys (initial, recertification, complaint and validation) and all follow the same rules. Whether you are new to this position, or you have been through survey in the past, it is often hard to keep up with the changes, and know where to start. This webinar provides information current up to 2017.
We have created a comprehensive 3 - part training series to assist you by outlining the rules and providing you the necessary tools so you won't need to recreate the wheel. You may attend individual sessions that are of interest to you or all three as a complete discounted package on the date of your choice. Can't attend live? Recorded sessions will be available after the initial date. Email address will be provided for personal Q&A after viewing each session.
You will find these sessions an easy way to prepare in advance for a Medicare survey, invite your staff to participate as a team! This is your best defense to avoid a lengthy Plan of Correction. Each session will run for 1.5 hours and allow plenty of time for questions and answers.
