Critical Access Hospital Conditions of Participation, Five-Part Series
Critical Access Hospitals (CAH) must comply with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Conditions of Participation (CoPs) located in Appendix W in the manual. This five-part webinar series will cover the majority of the CAH CoPs manual. The regulations and interpretive guidelines serve as the basis for determining compliance. There were multiple changes and new regulations for CAHs in 2020, and new United States Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) regulations on patient rights and obstetrical care in 2025. However, most of the new tag numbers do not include interpretive guidelines or
survey procedures. The most recent major changes were additions to the regulations from HHS for patient rights, additions for integrated systems and emergency services, specifically related to obstetrical care.This series will help CAHs comply with specific CoPs challenges, such as nursing care plans,
necessary policies and procedures, drug storage, informed consent, and medication administration.
