The recent uptick in initiatives and announcements from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, has prompted LeadingAge DC to look for ways to provide timely summary information. We are working on a “Radar Screen” for nursing homes that will, in a clear format, highlight key dates and have brief summaries of initiatives with links to more information and will be updated regularly. We will include other federal initiatives and District of Columbia information on the radar screen.

 

In the meantime, we have summarized CMS updates in this CMS Update Document. Hopefully, as LeadingAge members you have created MyLeadingAge accounts at www.leadingage.org and have selected the listservs, publications and notifications you wish to receive directly from the national office. As we develop this, please let me know what information and format would be more helpful. Advocacy in Washington continues unabated!
