Navigating the CMS Web site to find accurate Medicare and Medicaid hospital regulations is a difficult and confusing task, and printing out hundreds of pages is costly and time-consuming. HCPro has taken the most recent version of CMS’ Conditions of Participation and the corresponding Interpretive Guidelines—including the new prescriptive guidelines for anesthesia services—and reprinted them in an easy-to-use format.
New in this edition:
- Now includes May 2010 update of Anesthesia Services Condition of Participation, which defines in detail who can administer and monitor various anesthesia services
- The most recent CMS Hospital Conditions of Participation (CoP) and Interpretive Guidelines (IG), released in June 2009
- The 2009 EMTALA regulations and corresponding Interpretive Guidelines
- Major CMS updates made in October 2008, including recent restraint and seclusion regulation changes
- An introduction to help you navigate and track future updates on the CMS Web site
