Course Description:
This program will discuss the six new HCFA rights and regulations. Including the federal regulations, HCFA formulated questions and answers, and the final interpretative guidelines. How these regulations apply to all hospitals that receive Medicare reimbursement, which comprises most hospitals in the US. How the new federal regulations address such issues as notice of patient rights, grievances and grievance procedures, board involvement and elements of a hospital grievance procedure. As well as how these regulations dramatically change the standard for use of restraints in acute medical and surgical care and for behavior management patients.
