Part 2: For every new law or regulation, new or updated, policies must be created and be disseminated to staff.

There are regularly changing provisions within the Affordable Care Act, other federal healthcare requirements, state laws and regulations, CMS Conditions of Participation, Joint Commission Standards, and other accreditation requirements.

You are to select one of the pieces of legislation you researched. Create a policy that might be adopted by either a hospital or a professional association to implement a component of that legislation. This must be a policy you create—not one that you find on the web or one that is used by your institution.
