title: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services--new interpretative guidelines for the conditions of participation for discharge planning--part 2.
abstract: The Conditions of Participation for Discharge Planning are the case manager's guide as to how to correctly develop, implement and re-assess a hospital discharge planning program. Virtually any questions you may have as to how to conduct the discharge planning process can be found in the CoP. As case managers, we should never have to guess as to what the "right thing" is to do as it relates to discharge planning. Referring to the CoP any time a question comes up will always lead you in the right direction.
