CMS recently released a toolkit to help providers asses and develop competencies to meet the needs of the residents in their community. The toolkit was developed with CMP Funds through the Civil Monetary Penalty Reinvestment Program.
There are three competency assessments in print and electronic formats:
- Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA)/Certified Medication Technicians (CMT)
- Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurses (LVN/LPN) and Registered Nurses (RN)
- Assistant directors of nursing (ADON), directors of nursing (DON) and administrators.
The assessments pose questions about behavioral, technical and resident-based competencies and should be completed as needed. This toolkit (Toolkit 1), which includes the competency assessment and supporting materials, can support your nursing home’s existing learning and development standards of practice. The toolkit also includes an Instruction Manual to support managers in implementing the assessment. The guide provides resources, including: videos; talking points; an email memo; a poster; an assessment completion tracker; a manager’s guide to meeting one-on-one with staff; and an assessment results worksheet to compile and analyze results.
