Nursing Home Workforce Quality Act
This bill repeals certain restrictions under Medicare and Medicaid that prohibit the approval of nurse-aide training and competency evaluation programs in skilled nursing facilities that have been subject to specified regulatory actions (e.g., civil penalties) for substandard quality of care. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) may still disapprove such programs; however, the CMS must rescind the disapproval upon completion of corrective action.
