SUMMARY:KHA Quality Webinar: Emergency Services and Obstetrical Obligations: CMS Hospital Conditions of Participation 2025

Every hospital that has a dedicated emergency department and accepts Medicare and Medicaid payment must follow the federal law and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Conditions of Participation Interpretive Guidelines on the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA). Even hospitals without such emergency departments must comply with EMTALA if they have specialized capabilities; for example\, EMTALA can impact obstetrical patients and behavioral health patients. \nPlease join the KHA quality team in welcoming special guest speaker\, Laura Dixon\, BS\, JD\, RN\, CPHRM\, to discuss the above challenges.

SUMMARY:KHA Town Hall: Happy Patients Pay: Delivering a Positive Patient Experience in the Revenue Cycle
DESCRIPTION:Train your team in practical steps to quickly improve financial performance and communications at critical moments with patients. Patients now have more choices than ever; although they may not be able to differentiate between adequate and excellent clinical care\, they can identify substandard customer service in the billing process and related communications from a hospital or health care provider.
