The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services official announced on Tuesday that CMS is developing a proposed rule to remove "obsolete or burdensome requirements" from the agency's regulatory structure, a move that could impact anesthesiology, according to an ASA release.
The department will consider changes to hospital conditions of participation, including current physician supervision requirements imposed for anesthesia care. The department has received comments requesting that CMS eliminate these requirements, which are a component rule of the conditions of participation.
The American Society of Anesthesiologists has continued to support the physician supervision patient safety standard, according to the release.
