With the recent heightened activity in the area of telemedicine, are you sure your hospital is compliant with the regulatory standards? The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have conditions of participation (CoP) interpretive guidelines for hospitals regarding telemedicine standards. The regulations cover the revised credentialing and privileging process for practitioners who provide telemedicine services. The new process is less burdensome and allows hospitals to provide credentialing by proxy.
CMS has been issuing quarterly reports on the number of hospital deficiencies. This web conference will discuss the most challenging standards in the telemedicine interpretive guidelines, including what provisions should be in the telemedicine contract and the new tag numbers for critical access hospitals in 2020. Learn about regulations, interpretive guidelines and the responsibilities of the board, medical staff and hospital administration to ensure compliance.
