Fact Based List:
4 Points to Keep in Mind on the CMS Emergency Preparedness Final Rule for ASCs
Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 09/22/2016 - 12:14
- The final rule exempts ASCs from providing information about occupancy. Hospitals will continue to report on inpatient occupancy.
- ASCs are required to create a process to cooperate with local, regional, state and federal efforts for emergency preparedness in their community.
- The final rule also requires ASCs to document efforts to connect with emergency preparedness officials and collaborate in planning efforts when available.
- After ASCA expressed concerns during the comment period CMS withdrew the requirement as ASCs can just cancel cases and transfer patients to a higher care level if needed.
