​UPDATED 10/11/16: CMS Emergency Preparedness Rules and Resources

10/4/2016

 
10/11/16 UPDATE:
Understanding the Emergency Preparedness Final Rule
The PowerPoint presentation from the Medicare Learning Network National call on Wednesday, October 5, 2016, “Understanding the Emergency Preparedness Final Rule” has also been posted to the MIHAN: Regional Network>Resource Sharing>CMS.

As announced, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized a rule to establish consistent emergency preparedness requirements for health care providers participating in Medicare and Medicaid, increase patient safety during emergencies, and establish a more coordinated response to natural and man-made disasters.  
CMS scheduled a Medicare Learning Network National Call on Wednesday, October 5, 2016, from 1:30 – 3:00 p.m. Eastern time. During this call, CMS will discuss the new requirements and revisions in the final rules, as well as how to plan for both natural and man-made disasters, while coordinating with other emergency preparedness systems. A question and answer session will follow the presentation.  Please register for the national call today at:  Medicare Learning Network National Call on Wednesday, October 5 from 1:30 - 3:00 p.m.Eastern Time.
