Learn how to meet new changes to conditions of participation (COPs). The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) updated several requirements in the hospital COPs. The changes affect requirements for:

  • restraint and seclusion

  • history and physical examinations (H&Ps)

  • verbal orders

  • medication security

  • postanesthesia evaluations

These requirements have been long-time focus areas of The Joint Commission and are commonly cited during survey. It is crucial that your facility update its current practices to meet the revised COPs. Doing so will improve the quality of care your patients receive, and reduce your risk of regulatory noncompliance.

 

This resource helps you clarify answers to these questions, among others:

  • What’s CMS’ definition of “restraint”?

  • What does having increased flexibility surrounding monitoring and documentation of restraint and seclusion mean?

  • What needs to be included in the updated note for an H&P?

  • Do you have to be on the medical staff to complete an H &P?

  • What should a policy say concerning securing medications?

To help answer these questions, we’ve put together this FAQ-style report, which features dozens of questions from your healthcare peers, and answers them in a practical Q&A format that’s easy to reference and understand.
