- Abstract : This study examines how rural medical centers in Northwest Missouri achieve emergency planning compliance with the current Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) emergency preparedness rule. This 2017 study focused on rural hospitals, critical access hospitals, and long‐term care facilities. An exploratory qualitative research study with an interpretive phenomenological approach was applied. Data were gathered from 11 face‐to‐face interviews with medical centers' emergency and disaster planners in Northwest Missouri. Several categories and subcategories were identified in the data and developed into themes. Thematic analysis indicated significant barriers, including a CMS unfunded mandate, preparedness conducted by a single individual with other duties, lack of a whole community approach, and a lack of financial planning by medical center administration, hinder compliance with the CMS rule, necessary to mitigate nationwide emergencies. All participants agreed to the development of the emergency operations plan, which is essential for compliance. The findings from this study support the need for additional planning staff, time, and training to understand the elements of preparedness. Compliance with the CMS emergency preparedness rule cannot be achieved unless identified barriers are addressed. 摘要: 本文分析了密苏里州西北部农村医疗中心如何实现遵从当前联邦医疗保险和医疗补助中心 (CMS) 应急预备规则的应急规划。本研究于2017年开展,Abstract : This study examines how rural medical centers in Northwest Missouri achieve emergency planning compliance with the current Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) emergency preparedness rule.

Este estudio de 2017 se centró en hospitales rurales, hospitales de acceso crítico e instalaciones de atención a largo plazo. Se aplicó un estudio exploratorio de investigación cualitativa con enfoque fenomenológico interpretativo. Los datos se obtuvieron de 11 entrevistas cara a cara con los planificadores de emergencias y desastres de los centros médicos en el noroeste de Missouri. Se identificaron varias categorías y subcategorías en los datos y se desarrollaron en temas. El análisis temático indicó barreras significativas, incluido un mandato sin fondos de CMS, la preparación realizada por una sola persona con otras tareas, la falta de un enfoque comunitario completo y la falta de planificación financiera por parte de la administración del centro médico, obstaculizan el cumplimiento de la regla de CMS, necesaria para mitigar emergencias a nivel nacional. Todos los participantes estuvieron de acuerdo en que el desarrollo del plan de operaciones de emergencia (EOP) es esencial para el cumplimiento. Los hallazgos de este estudio respaldan la necesidad de personal de planificación adicional, tiempo y capacitación para comprender los elementos de la preparación. El cumplimiento de la regla de preparación para emergencias de CMS no se puede lograr a menos que se aborden las barreras identificadas. … (more)
