This ten-part online seminar series will cover a majority of the CMS Hospital CoP manual – Appendix A. (Psychiatric and Swing Bed requirements are addressed in a separate program.) It is a fantastic way to educate everyone in your hospital on all the sections of the CMS hospital manual, especially ones that apply to their department.
