CMS Emergency Preparedness Rule: Live Q&A

November 15, 2017

Join us for a Live Q&A with FTLF Partner, Molly Evans and FTLF Compliance Counsel, Dianne Pledgie on Wednesday, November 15th at 2:00 PM EST, to discuss the upcoming CMS Emergency Preparedness Rule deadline.  Molly and Dianne will be available to answer questions from participants and provide guidance on how to navigate the EP rule requirements.

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) established emergency preparedness requirements (aka CMS EP Rule) that went into effect on November 16, 2016. Medicare and Medicaid participating providers and suppliers, including health centers, must comply with the EP Rule requirements by November 15, 2017.

The new rule is far-reaching and requires providers to conduct annual risk assessments and develop emergency plans. In addition, providers must develop and implement policies and procedures to successfully execute their emergency plans, while addressing risks identified during their most recent assessment phase. Providers must also establish a communications plan to communicate and coordinate patient care within and outside their facilities during an emergency. Finally, providers must demonstrate ongoing training and testing of their emergency management programs, including conducting exercises.
