CMS Innovations: Two Upcoming Webinar Opportunities

Two new upcoming webinars have been added to Webinars & Forums on innovation.cms.gov. ACNP urges members and friends to participate in one or both of these learning and engagement opportunities.

Webinar: Evidence-based Interventions to Reduce Avoidable Hospitalizations Among Nursing Facility Residents

Last week, staff from the Medicare-Medicaid Coordination Office (MMCO) and the CMS Innovation Center hosted a webinar to discuss the Initiative to Reduce Avoidable Hospitalizations Among Nursing Facility Residents. Slides from that webinar are now available.

On Tuesday, April 17, CMS will host a second webinar on the initiative entitled "Evidence-Based Interventions."  During this webinar, independent faculty will discuss strategies that have proven successful in reducing avoidable hospitalizations in the target population.
