Any hospital that accepts Medicare and Medicaid payments must comply with regulations known as the Conditions of Participation (CoPs). The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) hospital CoPs have sections on all aspects of patient care, including medical staff and telemedicine. This webinar will discuss the governing body and medical staff sections of the CoPs manual in relation to requirements and oversight.
Although telemedicine has been a factor in health care for many years, COVID-19 gave it a larger role in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. This session will discuss standards for acute care hospitals, Critical Access Hospitals, and rural emergency hospitals participating in telemedicine. Finally, attendees will learn what provisions should be included in a telemedicine contract.
