CMS recently blogged about their five-part approach they are using to ensure safety and quality in America’s nursing homes. The approach is:

1. Strengthen Oversight
2. Enhance Enforcement
3. Increase Transparency
4. Improve Quality
5. Put Patients over Paperwork

Seema Verma, Administrator, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services wrote about the first strategy, Strengthen Oversight, in a recent blog post.
