Medical Director Registry

The Advancing Excellence in Long-Term Care Collaborative has expressed its support of AMDA’s recommendation that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) begins keeping a record, by name, of each of the designated medical directors and associate medical directors of the nation’s 15,000 nursing homes.
