Natural and man-made disasters put the health and safety of Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries — and the public at large — at risk. In September of 2016, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) responded with new rules requiring providers and suppliers to plan for disasters, and coordinate with federal, state, tribal, regional, and local emergency preparedness systems to ensure facilities are prepared to meet the needs of patients in emergency situations.
In this webcast, Brad Keyes of Keyes Life Safety Compliance will detail the four core elements of the CMS rule —Emergency Planning, Policies and Procedures, Communication Plan, and Training and Testing — and answer questions on how to bring existing emergency plans into compliance by the November 2017 deadline.
Registration is limited to accommodate the Q&A session following the presentation.
