CMS releases guidance for hospitals implementing interoperability rule
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services today released interpretive guidance on hospital admission, discharge, and transfer notification requirements outlined in its May 2020 final rule on interoperability and patient access, which includes Medicare conditions of participation for hospitals, psychiatric hospitals and critical access hospitals. Due to the COVID-19 public health emergency, CMS gave hospitals until May 1, 2021, to implement these requirements. For more on the final rule, see the AHA Special Bulletin released last year.
