Conditions of Admission Document - Regulatory Source

Can someone point me in the right direction for finding the regulatory source for the requirements to provide Conditions of Admission to hospital patients? Is this a state regulation? CMS? Conditions of Participation? I can find reference to providing Conditions of Admission to patients in the Medicare Manual but those citing are around waivers, etc.

Thank you.

  • It is essentially the consent to treat form signed upon admission. Typically contains the following types of elements:

    Consent to Medical and Surgical Procedures

    Nursing Care

    Physicians are Independent Medical Practiioners

    Personal Belongings

    Maternity Patients

    Participation in Medical Education/Teaching Programs

    Consent to Photograph
