OVERVIEW

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ survey process focuses on a hospital’s performance of patient-focused and organizational functions and processes from a federal compliance perspective. The Joint Commission surveys heavily focus on care processes, patient safety and quality processes. This recording of a Web series presented Nov. 17, Nov. 24 and Dec. 1, 2009, compares and contrasts the important new similarities and differences between the two programs; also it highlights the strategies needed to be in compliance with both programs:

  • Part 1: Overview of CMS and Joint Commission 2009/2010 changes; differences in survey techniques and focus; and The Joint Commission Standards’ medical staff revisions to coordinate with Medicare.
  • Part 2: Key differences between The Joint Commission Standards and the Medicare Conditions of Participation.
  • Part 3: Reviews revised CMS requirements related to authentication of orders, plus staffing orientation and patient assignment. Also reviews CMS requirements related to patient grievances.
