Why Should You Attend:
If a CMS surveyor showed up at your hospital tomorrow would you know what to do? Are you sure you are in compliance with the entire grievance requirements by CMS, OCR, and the complaint standards by the Joint Commission or your accreditation organization? Do you have a grievance committee? Do you provide a written response as required by CMS? The CMS grievance requirements have recently been a frequent source of investigation. In fact, it was the third most common problematic standard for hospital. The grievance standards are located in the patient rights section.
This online training will talk about the Office of Civil Rights requirements under Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act. The hospital must have a grievance procedure and compliance coordinator to investigate any grievances alleging noncompliance with this law including discrimination. There must be a process to promptly resolve any grievance prohibited by Section 1557.
This training program will also discuss the CMS Hospital CoPs, the Joint Commission and DNV Healthcare standards on complaints and grievances. How these cross walk to the CMS grievance interpretive guidelines will also be discussed. This is a must attend for any hospital. Staff should be aware and follow the hospital grievance and complaint policy. The policy should be approved by the board. Staff should be educated on the policy. This program will cover what is now required to be documented in the medical record.

Topic Background:
CMS issued their first memo summarizing noncompliance and grievances were a top problematic standard. A recent report by CMS found 902 hospitals out of compliance! Don’t let this happen to your hospital. Come learn what you need to ensure compliance. Many hospitals are surprised at the number of regulations and the detailed requirements to comply with this problematic standard.
Most every hospital in the US that accepts Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement must be in compliance with the CMS Conditions of Participation (CoPs).
Note: That Critical Access Hospitals (CAH) have a separate set of hospital CoPs and there is no corresponding restraint standard and the only mention of restraints is in the swing bed section. However, CAH are expected to have some system of grievance and complaint resolution. Therefore, many CAH adopt most of the requirements. This program will be helpful in determining suggested practices for policy implementation. CAH hospitals that are in systems should know the differences in the two sets of CoPs and may find the program of interest for that reason.
