Pflegeausbildungs-fonds NRW

The administrative procedure PFAU.NRW (short for: Pflegeausbildungsfonds NRW) supports care facilities and schools in NRW with the necessary notifications for financing nursing training. The process is handled completely digitally and without media discontinuity on both the facility and authority side.

The uniform German Nursing Professions Act reformed the financing of nursing training, which is why the administrative procedure PFAU.NRW was developed on behalf of d-NRW AöR for the Münster district government as the responsible authority in NRW.

Objective and Context of

the Specialist Application

The aim of this procedure is to create and secure additional training places in the care sector through competition-neutral financing of training costs. In this way, the procedure creates financial incentives for nursing schools and facilities to train nursing staff.

PFAU.NRW manages the financing of nursing training in NRW in accordance with the Nursing Professions Act. Funding is provided state-wide via the newly established equalization fund. Hospitals, nursing facilities, the state of NRW and the nursing care insurance fund pay into this fund. The training costs incurred in hospitals, care facilities and schools are financed via the equalization fund.

Digitized Processes

Institutions obliged to participate are requested by the competent authority to register for the procedure. They can then use the access data they receive to participate in the procedure.

3 registration processes are run through in a financial year:

Forecast reports – are used to determine the size of the financing requirements and to set the training budgets for the training institutions.
Levy reports – are the basis on which the funding is distributed proportionately between the facilities, the state and the long-term care insurance.
Actual reports – show the actual training costs incurred by the training institutions in the financing year.

The system carries out the necessary calculations, generates the required notifications and documents and supports the competent authority in managing the compensation fund and monitoring the processes.
