CMS Emergency Preparedness Rule Webinar Series (Live Series)

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Emergency Preparedness Rule, issued in November 2016, gave Medicare and Medicaid participating providers and suppliers (including health centers) one year to meet the compliance requirements. In November 2017, CMS began surveying providers and suppliers for compliance. The surveying process has provided important insight into how health centers can demonstrate compliance with the CMS Emergency Preparedness Rule.

The CMS requirements far exceed the HRSA requirements related to emergency preparedness. Under the CMS Rule, health centers must:

  • Conduct an annual risk assessment;
  • Develop and implement an emergency plan;
  • Develop and implement policies and procedures to execute the emergency plan;
  • Update the emergency plan and related policies and procedures in response to risks identified through the annual risk assessment;
  • Establish a communication plan to coordinate patient care within and outside health center facilities during an emergency;
  • Train all employees on emergency preparedness annually; and
  • Test the emergency plan through annual tabletop and full scale exercises.

Feldesman Tucker Leifer Fidell LLP (FTLF) and Primary Care Emergency Preparedness Network (PCEPN) invite you to participate in a four-part webinar series addressing the Rule's core elements. Each webinar session will be devoted to one core element and will provide information on specific requirements in that area, as well as practical tips for implementation. Additional useful resources (i.e. links, documents, templates) will also be provided.
