Trump Administration Launches National
Training Program to Strengthen Nursing Home Infection Control Practices
New
training provides education on critical safety measures to keep residents
safe
Today, under the leadership of President Trump, the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is implementing an unprecedented
national nursing home training program for frontline nursing home staff and
nursing home management. The training is designed to equip both frontline caregivers
and their management with the knowledge they need to stop the spread of
coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in their nursing homes. The training
announced today will be available immediately to staff of America’s 15,400
Medicare and Medicaid certified nursing homes and focuses on critical topics
like infection control and prevention, appropriate screening of visitors,
effective cohorting of residents, safe admission and transfer of residents,
and the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) – all critical
elements of stopping the spread of COVID-19. President Trump first
announced the training in late July as part of the Trump Administration’s
unwavering commitment to the safety of American seniors living in nursing
homes. The training is only the latest in a long list of decisive actions the
Trump Administration has taken to safeguard America’s nursing homes.
