Reminder for nursing home team members: CMS online training series: CMS Targeted COVID-19 Training for Frontline Nursing Home Staff and Management (also referred to as the CMS Designated Scenario-Based Training [SBT] or CMS Quality, Safety and Education Portal [QSEP] training).
Users may test out of specific modules to focus learning exactly where it’s needed. Learners may demonstrate their knowledge before they begin each module by answering five test-out questions. They can skip that training module – and still get credit for completing the training – if they answer four of the five test-out questions correctly.
Given current staff shortages, providing a test-out option helps nursing homes customize their training to address real learning gaps. This can improve staff satisfaction and lead to cost savings for the nursing home!
This training includes additional features that are better aligned to meet your needs; your team is able to:
- Train as a group or by mobile phone, tablet or desktop.
- Complete the modules in any order and receive certificates of completion.
This training will meet the CMS target goal of at least 75 percent of nursing home staff and management completing the CMS Infection Control and Prevention training. CMS has developed some useful instructions and tools to assist:
- The User Guide provides step-by-step instructions to access the free, on-demand trainings.
- The Group Facilitator’s Guide provides everything you need to train your staff as a team, including a pre-training checklist and agenda, promotional flyers, user guide and more.
Please note; you will need to register and/or log-in to access the training site.
