It has been a remarkable period of transformation for healthcare organizations since the onset of the pandemic due to a significant number of emergency orders and waivers issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The ongoing pandemic has demonstrated the benefits of regulatory flexibility which has also accelerated the adoption of telehealth to improve healthcare delivery alternatives.
In this session we will provide an overview of the pending expiration of the Public Health Emergency (PHE) and how to prepare your organization for a return to pre-pandemic regulations and increased enforcement activities that carry enhanced consequences associated with infection control deficiencies.
Our discussion will conclude with strategies to take advantage of positive changes in regulations that are intended to help reduce the burdens of maintaining compliance while also encouraging patients to become more involved in their healthcare.
The goal of this activity is to increase preparedness for the eventual expiration of the Emergency Orders, including becoming more familiar with:
