This program will cover the changes to the discharge planning standards published in February 2020. CMS has not published revised interpretive guidelines and survey procedures to match the new regulations. The regulations apply to all hospitals, including Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs).
This program will discuss the Impact Act and how it affects hospital discharge planning. It requires standardized assessment, quality data, and resource data requirements. It requires hospitals to assist patients with post-discharge care, such as home health, skilled nursing facilities, long-term care hospitals, and inpatient rehab facilities. Patients have freedom of choice, and now information on all four must be provided to the patient except for CAHs.
The new regulations cover sections on patient timely access to medical records, the discharge planning process, discharge instructions, and discharge planning requirements. It will cover transfers to other facilities, assessment of readmission within 30 days, caregiver rights and recommendations, reduction of factors that lead to preventable readmissions, timely discharge planning, and more.
Discharge Planning Conditions of participation for Critical Access hospitals will be discussed briefly. Those regulations follow the Acute hospital's requirements.
This program will briefly discuss the worksheet previously utilized by surveyors for assessing compliance with the CMS hospital Conditions of Participation for discharge planning. Though the worksheet is no longer used, it is available to all facilities and is an excellent self-assessment tool.
Every hospital that accepts Medicare and Medicaid must comply with the CMS discharge planning guidelines. These standards must be followed for all patients, not just Medicare or Medicaid. CMS requires several discharge planning policies and procedures, so learn which ones are needed and why.
