TOPEKA — The Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have approved funding to implement the SNF Clinic quality improvement program in 43 nursing homes across the state, including in Osborne.

This initiative aims to enhance staff training, improve resident care, and elevate overall facility performance through an advanced electronic learning management system (eLMS).

SNF Clinic is a web-based platform that provides nursing home staff with easy access to essential education and care resources. The program ensures residents receive high-quality, person-centered care by equipping healthcare professionals with the necessary knowledge and tools.

“The implementation of SNF Clinic in Kansas nursing homes represents a significant investment in the well-being of our elderly population,” KDADS Civil Money Penalty (CMP) Program Manager Rebecca Hedrick said. “By prioritizing education and quality improvement, we ensure that staff members are fully prepared to provide exceptional care to residents.”

Long-Term Care Consultants, LLC (LTCC), the developer and owner of SNF Clinic, has collaborated with CMS and 20 states to provide this system to thousands of nursing homes through the CMP Grant Program. This federal initiative reinvests penalties assessed against nursing homes into programs that directly benefit residents, reinforcing a commitment to improving long-term care standards.

“We’re excited to work with KDADS in providing SNF Clinic to more than 3,000 licensed nursing home beds in the state,” LTCC’s General Legal Counsel Benjamin Meeker said. “Together, we can make a difference in the quality of care provided to thousands of Kansas’s citizens.”
