Date: Wednesday, June 5, 2024
Time: 1 p.m. EST
Solventum experts Bobbie Starkey and Kay Blue tackle the complexities of observation status as they discuss the intricacies of when to admit and when to observe.
During this session, we'll define observation status and discuss critical factors that determine observation versus inpatient status, including the Two-Midnight Rule and extended postoperative recovery. We'll provide insights into appropriate reporting of observation hours, regulatory requirements such as Condition Code 44 and the Medicare outpatient observation notice (MOON), and the establishment of safe discharge plans. Additionally, we'll explore common barriers for patients requiring extended length of stay who do not meet observation status criteria.
This opportunity will enhance your understanding of observation status management and compliance.
