Trump Administration Acts to Ensure U.S.
Healthcare Facilities Can Maximize Frontline Workforces to Confront COVID-19
Crisis
At President Trump’s
direction, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) today
temporarily suspended a number of rules so that hospitals, clinics, and other
healthcare facilities can boost their frontline medical staffs as they fight
to save lives during the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
These changes affect
doctors, nurses, and other clinicians nationwide, and focus on reducing
supervision and certification requirements so that practitioners can be hired
quickly and perform work to the fullest extent of their licenses. The new
waivers sharply expand the workforce flexibilities CMS announced on March 30.
