History & Physicals: Meeting Hospital CoPs in 2024

WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE: CMOs, CNOs, compliance officers, emergency department personnel, joint commission coordinators, medical records staff, quality improvement personnel, risk managers, legal counsel, and anyone else interested in the subject matter

 

OVERVIEW: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) made a change in 2019 that states healthy outpatients may not be required to have a full history and physical. The session presenter will explain how to implement this new rule and discuss what is required to be in the policy, medical staff and board approval, revised medical staff bylaws, and more. In addition, the presenter will cover what is required to be in the history and physical and how to meet compliance with the CMS hospital Conditions of Participation (CoPs) as well as briefly discuss the Joint Commission (TJC) and DNV standards. CMS has five separate sections that address history and physicals for acute and Critical Access Hospitals. Hospitals need to ensure that their policies and procedures meet the history and physical requirements. Medical staff bylaws must also comply with the regulations and interpretive guidelines and standards. Finally, this webinar will cover history and physical deficiencies cited by CMS.

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  • Recall that CMS has history and physical requirements in the hospital CoPs that all hospitals that accept Medicare must follow;
  • Identify TJC and DNV standards of history and physicals;
  • Describe that the hospital must have medical staff bylaws and policies that include the requirements for history and physical; and
  • Discuss what hospitals must do to implement the new rule that history and physical do not need to be done on healthy outpatients.
