Title: ●Hospital and Critical Access Hospital (CAH) Changes to Promote Innovation, Flexibility, and Improvement in Patient Care (CMS-3295-P)(Rulemaking Resulting From a Section 610 Review) 
Abstract: This proposed rule would revise the requirements that hospitals and CAHs must meet to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. These changes are necessary to reflect substantial advances in healthcare delivery and in patient safety knowledge and practices, and would allow hospitals and CAHs the flexibility to implement innovative patient care practices. The changes are also an integral part of our efforts to achieve broad-based improvements in patient safety and in the quality of health care furnished through Federal programs.
