CMS Staffing Compliance with Facility Assessments
CMS is launching a new nursing home staffing campaign to help workers pursue careers in nursing homes . This campaign will support the recruitment , training , and retention of nursing home workers , including the CMS investment of over $ 75 million in financial incentives for nurses to work in nursing homes , through the Civil Money Penalty ( CMP ) Reinvestment Program . You will need to utilize your Facility Assessment to develop and maintain a staffing plan to maximize recruitment and retention of direct care staff . Your plan must be documented . Your staffing plan is considered part of a demonstration of a good faith effort to hire .
CMS does not propose to specify how the staffing plan should be developed or what it must contain .
