A Comprehensive Train-the-Trainer Certificate Program

CMS continues to expand the use of section GG, from driving SNF Quality Reporting Program (QRP) measures to having a major impact in three of the five case-mix-adjusted PDPM payment components – PT, OT, and nursing – and, starting Oct. 1, 2020, to be used by State Medicaid Agencies to inform future payment model decision. 

NACs must take on a larger role in coordinating data collection and ensuring it’s accuracy. This starts with consistent training for nurses aides and the entire IDT. AAPACN’s Section GG Train-the-Trainer certificate program will prepare you to provide on-going training to direct care staff to accurately report or document the resident’s performance in the 24 different section GG self-care and mobility activities.
