The CMS Targeted COVID-19 Training for Frontline Nursing Home Staff & Management is available now, with five specific modules designed for frontline clinical staff and 10 designed for nursing home management. The training is available for free on the CMS Quality, Safety & Education Portal. 

The training modules for frontline staff address basic infection control and prevention - some of the most common concerns found by surveyors and Federal Task Force Strike Teams (teams of federal staff deployed to facilities with high numbers of cases). The modules are focused on the most urgent needs of frontline nursing home staff and include:
  • Module 1: Hand Hygiene and PPE
  • Module 2: Screening and Surveillance
  • Module 3: Cleaning the Nursing Home
  • Module 4: Cohorting
  • Module 5: Caring for Residents with Dementia in a Pandemic
The training modules for management are comprehensive, focusing on infection control and cleanliness but also larger institution-wide issues like implementation of telehealth, emergency preparedness, and vaccine delivery. They include:
  • Module 1: Hand Hygiene and PPE
  • Module 2: Screening and Surveillance
  • Module 3: Cleaning the Nursing Home
  • Module 4: Cohorting
  • Module 5: Caring for Residents with Dementia in a Pandemic
  • Module 6: Infection Prevention and Control
  • Module 7: Emergency Preparedness and Surge Capacity
  • Module 8: Addressing Emotional Health of Residents and Staff
  • Module 9: Telehealth for Nursing Homes
  • Module 10: Getting Your Vaccine Delivery System Ready
