Take the Guesswork Out of CMS Compliance
Developed through hundreds of hours of regulatory research and analysis, our CoP Crosswalk Libraries transform complex CMS Conditions of Participation into a practical roadmap for policy development and survey readiness. Each crosswalk identifies required and recommended policies, maps them directly to the applicable federal regulations, highlights key compliance topics, and outlines the evidence surveyors commonly request— saving your organization valuable time while strengthening regulatory confidence.
The CMS Policy List Hospital Leaders Have Been Asking For—Finally Created
Throughout my career as a healthcare consultant and hospital nursing leader, I repeatedly heard the same question: “Can you give us a complete list of the policies and procedures CMS expects us to have?”
That list did not exist — so I created it.
I’m Dr. Tiffany Thompson, DNP, RN, CPHQ, and I invested hundreds of hours reviewing and interpreting the CMS Conditions of Participation to identify the compliance topics hospitals should address through policies, procedures, plans, processes, and other written evidence.
These comprehensive regulatory crosswalks do the time-consuming work for you. They help your organization quickly identify documentation gaps, prepare stronger evidence of compliance, and reduce the risk of preventable survey deficiencies — without requiring your team to navigate hundreds of pages of complex federal regulations.
Four Bundles. One Clear Path
to Compliance.
A Small Investment Before Survey. A Significant Savings After.
A single survey deficiency can trigger urgent policy revisions, staff reeducation, extensive auditing, consultant expenses, follow-up surveys, and weeks or months of corrective work.The CMS CoP Crosswalk Library helps you identify missing or incomplete documentation before surveyors do. For a fraction of the cost of remediation, your organization gains a clear roadmap to stronger compliance and greater survey readiness.

Approach Compliance With Greater Confidence
Replace uncertainty and assumptions with a clear, actionable understanding of what CMS expects and how your organization can demonstrate compliance.
Your hospital cannot afford to leave CMS compliance to assumption. Maybe you are preparing for an upcoming survey, reviewing outdated policies, trying to close documentation gaps, or simply wondering whether every regulatory requirement has been addressed.
I created the CMS CoP Crosswalk Library because hospital leaders repeatedly asked for a comprehensive list of the policies, procedures, plans, and processes CMS expects, but that resource did not exist. So, I invested hundreds of hours reviewing and organizing the requirements into one clear, practical roadmap.
If you are ready to stop searching, reduce uncertainty, and identify potential gaps before surveyors do, this is your next step. The research has been done. The requirements have been organized. Now your team can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and survey readiness.
