View Rule

The proposed rule would establish culturally competent and person-centered requirements for all provider and supplier types that participate in Medicare and Medicaid programs. These requirements revise the Conditions of Participations/Conditions for Coverage (CoPss/CfCs) pertaining to governance, patient/resident/client rights (such as nondiscrimination and accessibility), clinical quality standards, quality assessment and performance improvement, staff training, discharge planning, and care planning in an effort to increase quality and improve access to health care. These proposals also include additional requirements for transplant programs, organ procurement organizations, and end-stage renal disease facilities that would advance equity and reduce disparities in organ transplantation and organ donation.
