The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) is changing the process regarding the certificates and pocket cards that are sent to certified nurse aides (CNA), qualified medication aides (QMA) and registered home health aides (HHA). Effective May 1, 2011, when an individual renews their certification or registration, no certificate, pocket card or confirmation will be sent in the mail.
