What are key three differences between CMS and other regulatory quality standards?

Scope of Regulation: CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) specifically focuses on health care services in the United States, particularly those related to Medicare and Medicaid. Other regulatory quality standards may have a broader scope, covering various industries and sectors beyond healthcare.

Enforcement Authority: CMS has the power to enforce its standards through various means, including the ability to withhold federal funding from non-compliant healthcare providers. Other regulatory quality standards may not have the same level of enforcement authority.

Specificity of Standards: CMS standards are often very specific, detailing exact requirements for healthcare providers to follow. Other regulatory quality standards may be more general, providing a framework for quality but allowing individual organizations to determine the specifics.
