CMS Announces
Independent Commission to Address Safety and Quality in Nursing Homes
Commission will comprehensively examine
best practices in responding to COVID-19 in nursing homes
As a part of President
Trump’s Opening Up America Again effort, the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) announced a new independent Commission that will
conduct a comprehensive assessment of the nursing home response to the 2019
Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The Commission will provide
independent recommendations to the contractor to review and report to CMS to
help inform immediate and future responses to COVID-19 in nursing homes. This
unprecedented effort builds upon the agency’s five-part
plan unveiled last April to ensure safety and quality in America’s
nursing homes, as well as recent CMS efforts to combat the spread of COVID-19
within these facilities. Tomorrow marks the beginning of Older Americans
Month and, as we take this time to honor seniors, CMS remains committed to
enacting policies that benefit our Nation’s seniors. Press release |
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has sent this
Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) Update. To contact Centers
