Description

Advanced care planning involves making decisions about the medical care a patient wants to receive if they become unable to speak for themselves. Both CMS and The Joint Commission (TJC) address and have requirements on Advanced Directives to be compliant with the respective regulations and standards. A federal law – Patient Self Determination Act – addresses advance directives with which all hospitals must comply. It has been shown that better end-of-life care can reduce readmissions.

This webinar will discuss the CMS hospital Conditions of Participation (CoPs) and The Joint Commission standards on advance directives to help hospitals ensure compliance.
