Many hospitals are surprised by the number of requirements needed to comply with grievance regulations. In fact, a recent report by CMS found over 900 hospitals out of compliance. It is vital to educate staff on grievance requirements and their hospital’s board approved grievance and complaint policies.
This program will address CMS and OCR’s grievance requirements and the complaint standards by TJC and other accredited organizations. Our expert will provide a crosswalk on grievance interpretive guidelines and focus on Section 1557, medical record documentation, and patient rights.
