The CoP is the legal and regulatory requirements that hospitals and case management professionals must follow to be compliant in their role as discharge planners. It is important that all case management professionals, including both nurses and social workers, are familiar with the changes to the Conditions of Participation for Discharge Planning that were announced in October 2019 for Federal Fiscal Year 2020. From here we will then discuss these most recent changes from the Medicare program and how they will impact the roles of the RN case manager and the social worker. Learn how to be sure that your processes address the complexities of the new healthcare environment and that your role as a case manager or social worker is designed and staffed to meet the changes ahead! Be sure you know the old rules, the new rules, and the proposed rules so that your practice will be current and legal! Join us in reviewing the current rules, the new rules, and the proposed rules from CMS for Discharge Planning for 2020.

In this program, we will review start with reviewing the current rules for discharge planning as outlined under the Conditions of Participation (CoP) from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Are you compliant with these rules? We will follow this review with an overview of the final rules adopted in late 2019. These rules include requirements that will require some changes in the way you currently perform the process of discharge planning including the information provided to patients and families. We will also discuss how to assess a patient as you begin to develop your discharge plan on the day of admission. What data sets do you need to include in order to be in compliance with the (CoP)?
