It may seem daunting at times when dealing with CMS’s Conditions of Participation (CoPs). However, JCR’s one-day educational program is designed to provide health care professionals with key information necessary to navigate the challenging aspects of Medicare’s CoPs. CMS experts will offer tips and compliance strategies, to help you and your organization fulfill participation requirements. Our 2023 program will cover a variety of topics, including: top CoP citations, key proposed CMS rules changes, emergency preparedness, CMS and the physical environment, Final Rule for patient access and interoperability and the Washington Update. Our experts will also cover an overview and update on reading CMS Tea Leaves. Have your questions answered by our panel of CMS experts. 

Intended Audience:
This program is geared toward individuals who already have a working knowledge of CMS compliance issues, processes, and findings—specifically advanced beginners to experts. However, any healthcare-related professional interested in Medicare’s CoPs for hospitals would benefit from this program if your role, title, or job responsibilities relate. This may include: administrators, clinical leadership, managers, physicians, etc.

Attendees will also have access to the recorded sessions until December 10, 2024.
