DURHAM, N.C., Jan. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- AudioEducator, a division of audio conference and corporate education leader ProEdTech, will host a 3-part, 6-hour EMTALA course titled "EMTALA Update 2019: Hospital Compliance Webinar Series" with industry veteran Sue Dill Calloway on February 5, 12, and 19, 2019 (2 hours/session).
According to a recent memo from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), more than 4,000 hospitals received deficiencies for failure to comply with the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA). And violation penalties have more than doubled.
If a CMS surveyor walked into the hospital today to investigate an EMTALA complaint, how should one respond? Most hospitals are totally unprepared. This live webinar series presented by hospital compliance guru Sue Dill Calloway will show attendees how to prepare for surveyor scrutiny of EMTALA deficiencies.
The 3 sessions of this EMTALA webinar series will provide a thorough understanding of EMTALA requirements as well as common areas of noncompliance. Calloway will address the Beneficiary & Family Centered Care: Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) process. Attendees will walk away with the tools and knowledge they need to ensure that their hospital's policies, procedures, and training are adequate for EMTALA compliance.
This EMTALA course—worth 6 AAPC credits—will help hospital administrators, physicians, nurse supervisors/educators, nurses, and staff to:
- Avoid top-cited deficiencies
