The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) Mandated Emergency Preparedness Rule (CMS-3178-P)

Please join on Tuesday 09 May 2017 at 1130 when Caroline Ramsey-Hamilton of Risk & Security, LLC will discuss the long-awaited CMS Rule for Hospital Emergency Preparedness which was released by the White House’s Office of Budget and Management on 15 November 2016. This federal law must be implemented by the end of 2017. CMS states it will withhold funds for reimbursement, if healthcare organizations are not in compliance with the new rule.

This rule finalizes the emergency preparedness requirements of 17 types of healthcare providers to ensure that they adequately plan for both natural and man-made disasters and coordinate with Federal, State, tribal, regional, and local emergency preparedness systems. This rule ensures providers and suppliers are adequately prepared to meet the needs of patients, residents, clients, and participants during disasters and emergency situations.

The meeting will be held at Eversource.

ACP-CT will provide lunch.
