New COVID-19 Healthcare Workforce Toolkit Released
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Assistant Secretary of Preparedness and Response (ASPR) released a new COVID-19 Healthcare Workforce toolkit. The toolkit includes a variety of resources and tools for decision-makers managing health care challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The toolkit builds on the steps that CMS has taken to ensure health care facilities are fully staffed and equipped to treat COVID-19 patients as efficiently as possible. It also provides up-to-date best practices so that state and local health care decision makers have a resource to know what’s been implemented in the field and to find out how it’s working. The toolkit includes an assistance center, information exchange of case studies, and additional peer-to-peer communications.
