Pharmacy Conditions of Participation

Pharmacy Conditions of Participation

10 a.m.-Noon; Tuesday, Dec. 6

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

This session will provide information about the recent changes in Medicare’s conditions of participation, which require hospitals to establish a formalized antibiotic stewardship program. This program also reviews the existing conditions of participation and problematic pharmacy standards. The CMS interpretive guidelines address medication management and pharmacy-related standards. Hospitals can look to these standards when CMS conducts a survey. Medication management also is a focus for The Joint Commission. Medication errors account for the largest number of medical errors in health care. They are also the most-common reason for unnecessary hospital readmissions. For the first time, CMS mentions that nursing needs to be aware of the pharmacy standards. This includes medication errors, adverse events, drug incompatibilities, self‐administered medication and required medication policies.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Describe CMS requirements for pharmaceutical services.
  • Describe minimum security requirements.
  • Explain basic required policies and procedure.
  • Explain patient safety measures for medications.
