Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)–July 30, 2012. In March 2012, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a call for applications for a new initiative designed to increase the nation’s primary care workforce by supporting facilities that train Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs). Under this new initiative from the Affordable Care Act, CMS will begin making reimbursement payments to eligible hospitals in 2012 from the $200 million of available funds over the four year period of the Demonstration, helping the hospitals offset the costs of clinical training for APRN students.
