2021 Admission Criteria Webinar

September 15, 2021 11:00 am-1:00 pm MT

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
• Using resources to support decision-making
