Newsflash |
|
In what could be a new trend across the country, 15 HCA hospitals in Florida are redirecting non-emergent patients to nearby, less-expensive clinics for care. Nurses in the hospital's waiting area identify potential non-emergent patients, who are subsequently screened by a physician to comply with EMTALA laws. Critical to this initiative is proper documentation. |

New Safe Harbors for IT Sharing |
|
|
|
HHS announced new federal regulations that will allow hospitals and some other organizations to donate e-prescribing and electronic health records technology and support services to physicians
The regulations create broader exceptions and safe harbors to federal fraud-and-abuse laws, in terms of qualified donors and recipients, than initially proposed last October. The CMS created two exceptions to physician self-referral law allowing hospitals and other organizations to provide physicians with technology and training used predominately for interoperable e-records and solely for e-prescribing. Under safe harbors in anti-kickback law created by HHS' inspector general's office, recipients must cover 15% of the cost of e-records technology and services.
