Please join CRHC for Part I of a two part webinar series on Admission Criteria. Part I will cover the following content:

Inpatient vs Outpatient Admissions: Understanding rules that always seem to be changing

Meeting Description:

Deciding whether patients should be in observation or inpatient status has always been a challenge. Policies from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) Program may create additional pressures to create a common understanding for the hospital staff and physicians to make the best possible decisions.

Join the webinar to increase your understanding of the following topics:

• Differentiation between inpatient and outpatient admission status
• Documentation requirements to support the medical necessity of either type of stay
• CMS RAC and two-midnight rule implications
• Patient/family perspective regarding admission status
