What are some CMS regulations that affect nurses?


CMS enforces several regulations that directly influence nursing practice:
Nursing Home Regulations: CMS sets specific standards for staffing, patient care, and facility operations to ensure the safety and well-being of residents in nursing homes.
Hospital Conditions of Participation (CoPs): These are the minimum health and safety standards that hospitals must meet to participate in Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Quality Reporting Programs: CMS mandates participation in quality reporting programs, such as the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS), which measures patient satisfaction and experiences.
