AHCA BACKS CRITICAL LEGISLATION TO ADDRESS WORKFORCE SHORTAGES

摘要

THE NURSING HOME workforce QUALITY ACT (HR 4468) introduced by Reps. Dwight Evans (D-Pa.) and Ron Estes (R-Kansas) would allow skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) that have been forced to suspend in-house certified nurse assistant (CNA) education programs after receiving a certain level of penalties to resume those programs once quality standards are met."This common-sense legislation would help nursing homes to fix problems that are identified, which would be a win for everyone affected, the patients, their families, and the nursing homes," Evans said. He added that it is "important to work across party lines on points of agreement so we can make progress for the people we represent."
