Webinar Registration
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Preadmission Screening and Resident Review Technical Assistance Center (CMS PTAC) announces webinars by sending the announcement to all individuals on its distribution list and posting the announcements on the CMS PTAC upcoming webinars page. The email announcement contains a description of the webinar as well as a registration link. If you want to attend CMS PTAC webinars, you must register using the registration link emailed to you as part of the CMS PTAC distribution list or access webinar registration on the CMS PTAC website located under upcoming webinars.
Once you register, you will receive a confirmation email with a direct webinar link which can be added to your calendar. The day before the webinar, you will receive an email reminder and the materials that will be used during the webinar presentation.
Distribution List
If you are not already on the CMS PTAC distribution list, you may request to be added by going to the CMS PTAC website home page and scrolling to the bottom to enter your email information as directed.
Webinar Platform
CMS PTAC uses the Zoom platform for live webinars. If you do not currently use Zoom, please contact your internal information technology support, as needed, so you are able to access the webinar when it is presented.
Accessibility
You will have access to closed captioning for all CMS PTAC webinars. Instructions for accessing closed captioning are included at the beginning of each live webinar. Closed captioning is added to recorded webinars posted to the CMS PTAC website webinar page.
Continuing Education Units
CMS PTAC offers Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to attendees who are present for the entirety of the live webinar. It is essential you attend the entire webinar in order to receive CEUs. Please note that CEUs are not available for PASRR 101 sessions or previously recorded versions of webinars posted on the CMS PTAC website.
CEUs typically offered include units for nurses, case managers, family therapists, and social workers. For questions regarding CEUs, or if you attended a webinar in its entirety and did not receive information about obtaining CEUs after the webinar, please send an email to PASRR@pasrrassist.org.
Webinar Materials
If you register for the webinar, you will receive a copy of the webinar materials before and after the webinar. In addition, unless a speaker has asked for a recording not to be distributed, a recording of the webinar and its materials will be posted to the CMS PTAC website webinar page.
