CMS Conditions of Participation (CoPs) &Conditions for Coverage (CfCs)CMS develops CoPs - (hospitals, CAHs,ASCs)CfCs - (ESRD, LTC/NH, ASCs)Minimum health and safety standards that providersand suppliers must meet in order to be Medicare andMedicaid certified and receive reimbursement.The Interpretive Guidelines (IGs)provide instructions tothe surveyors on how to survey the CoP. Note: key are“should” versus “must” statementscms.gov

CMS Hospital Infection ControlConditions of Participation (CoPs)o Provide a sanitary environment and have an active program forprevention, control, investigation of infections/communicable diseases(A-0747)o Have a designated person(s) as infection control officer(s) to developand implement policies (A-0748)o Infection control officer(s) must develop a system for identifying,reporting, investigating and controlling infections/communicabledisease of patients/personnel (A-0749)o CEO, medical staff, and Director of Nursing must (A-0756) Ensure hospital-wide QAPI and training programs address problemsidentified by IPs Be responsible for implementation of successful corrective actionplans

CMS Hospital InterpretiveGuidanceProgram must:o Be incorporated into hospital-wide QAPI programo Include nationally recognized practices, guidelines,and regulationso Conduct surveillance facility-wide (all locations,departments, services, campuses), follow NHSN

CMS Hospital Interpretive GuidanceProgram must: Appropriately monitor housekeeping, maintenance,and other activities to ensure sanitary environment Have active surveillance component covering patientsand personnel Develop and implement IC interventions to addressissues identified through detection, and monitoreffectiveness of interventions

CMS Hospital InterpretiveGuidance – Organizational Policies Designate in writing infection control officer(s) Must be qualified No specification on number of IPs or hours Develop and implement policies governing control ofinfections/communicable disease

CMS Hospital Interpretive GuidanceIP(s) mustDevelop and implement infection control measures for HCPsMitigate risk (POA and HAI)Active surveillanceMonitor compliance with policy and proceduresProgram evaluation and revisionReport communicable diseasesMaintain sanitary physical environment

Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) Hospital andCAH Changes to Promote Innovation, Flexibility, andImprovement in Patient Care, 2016Hospital-wide IPC and antibiotic stewardship programs(ASP);Designate leaders of the IPCP and the ASP respectively,who are qualified through education, training, experience,or certification.Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement(QAPI) program incorporate quality indicator data relatedto hospital readmissions and hospital-acquired conditions;Competencies documented for IPC trainingAssess for IPC during Transitions of Care
