Overview:
CDC’s Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response funds Preparedness and Emergency Response Research Centers (PERRCs) to examine the organization, function, capacity, and performance of components in the public health system in preparing for and responding to potential threats and hazards. The Emory University PERRC conducted a study examining disaster preparedness in nursing homes and home health agencies. Although nursing homes and home health agencies care for over 2 million patients, they typically have not been included in disaster planning efforts. Please join us for this COCA call where subject matter experts will share findings from their study and discuss strategies to incorporate nursing homes and home health agencies into community-wide disaster planning.
Objectives:
At the conclusion of the session, the participant will be able to accomplish the following:
- Discuss preparedness levels among nursing homes and home health agencies.
- Describe the unique obstacles facing nursing homes and home health agencies in responding to disasters.
- Identify opportunities to improve disaster preparedness planning for nursing home and home health agencies.
