AMDA’s Collaboration with CNAs

AMDA – The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine has long supported collaboration with certified nurse assistants (CNAs) — vital members of the clinical team in nursing homes. We have encouraged clinicians to round with CNAs and to take the opportunity to hear the insights these key team members offer, who spend more time with residents than any other. Over the past two years, the Society has made a concerted effort to partner with CNAs to offer a variety of programs that recognize the important work CNAs do and to work together to ameliorate some of challenges that they face.
