Last week, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released a tool for nursing homes that are preparing to complete the self-assessment required in the new Nursing Home Requirements of Participation. This tool will be the subject of a September 7 MLN Connect call.

LeadingAge is planning to release this toolkit following the MLN Connect call on September 7.
