A new article by the National Governors Association discusses state strategies for recruiting and retaining a direct-care workforce in facility settings during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. It also outlines the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) waivers issued to address staffing challenges across the continuum of care during the public health emergency, including a waiver to temporarily reduce certain training requirements.
The article was produced through HRSA’s cooperative agreement with National Organizations of State and Local Officials.
