Provision of Care in a Safe Environment: Update on Patient Rights and Suicide Prevention


Virtual  
Tuesday, February 20, 2024 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM   iCalendar Central Standard Time

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

According to CMS and accrediting organizations such as Det Norske Veritas and The Joint Commission, one of the most-cited deficiencies at the immediate-jeopardy level is the right of patients to receive care in a safe setting. Ligature risks compromise a patient’s right to receive care in a safe setting, and it’s the hospital’s responsibility to provide care and safety to psychiatric patients at risk of harm to themselves or others.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Describe the CMS requirements for providing care in a safe environment for patients, specifically patients who are suicidal or in need of behavioral health services. 
  • Discuss CMS and the adoption of The Joint Commission suicide prevention panel recommendations.
  • Identify examples of immediate jeopardy and conditions-of-participation deficiencies concerning patient safety.
  • Identify the responsibilities of community access hospitals under the new patient rights conditions of participation.
  • Identify what is required for a physical environmental risk assessment.

INTENDED AUDIENCE

  • Behavioral health and psychiatric staff. 
  • CEOs. 
  • Chief medical officers. 
  • Chief nursing officers. 
  • Compliance personnel. 
  • Emergency department staff. 
  • Physicians. 
  • Safety officers.
