Join us for the CMS Hospital Restraint and Seclusion Webinar, where we will address the pressing issues surrounding this critical area that frequently leads to citations for non-compliance from both CMS and the Joint Commission. We will focus on the most problematic standards within the restraint section of the CMS Conditions of Participation (CoP).
With fifty pages of interpretive guidelines on restraint and seclusion for hospitals, it is crucial for every hospital accepting Medicare patients to adhere to these guidelines, regardless of their accreditation by organizations such as the Joint Commission, HFAP, CIHQ, or DNV Healthcare.
In 2019, CMS introduced significant changes to the requirements regarding restraints. Notably, the term "LIP" (licensed independent practitioner) was replaced with "LP" (licensed practitioner), enabling Physician Assistants (PAs) to write restraint orders in states where they are considered dependent practitioners.
To ensure compliance, any physician or provider who orders restraint must receive training in the hospital's policy. Both CMS and the Joint Commission mandate that hospital staff receive annual education on restraint and seclusion interpretive guidelines. CMS emphasizes the importance of ongoing restraint training, highlighting that training provided during orientation alone is insufficient. In fact, CMS has dedicated ten pages specifically to training requirements.
Moreover, during the CMS Hospital Restraint and Seclusion webinar, we will also delve into The Joint Commission standards on restraint and seclusion, which closely align with the CMS Conditions of Participation. Join us to gain valuable insights into these standards and learn effective strategies for maintaining compliance in this challenging area.
When it comes to online learning, people often get confused between CMS & LMS.
This blog post helps you differentiate between the two and suggest the best for your institute.The biggest difference between CMS (Content Management Systems) and LMS (Learning Management System) lies in its name.
CMS is the software that enables users to create, design, edit, and review the content, especially for learning purposes.
`Such systems are passive in nature and have no scope for interactive learning, i.e.
LMS, on the other hand, are dedicated systems crafted to redefine the experience of e-learning and online communication.
More active in nature, they offer learners the ability to interact with the data by taking assignments, giving feedback on course, etc.
