McKnight's Long-Term Care News Article: Why Partnerships Beat Binders When It Comes to Nursing Home Emergency Prep
McKnight’s Long-Term Care News has published an article that features resources and training opportunities to support nursing home emergency preparedness.
The article examines how nursing homes can strengthen emergency preparedness through collaboration with local partners and highlights a webinar and training resources from the Moving Forward Nursing Home Quality Coalition.
Rather than relying solely on written emergency plans, nursing homes are encouraged to build relationships with emergency management agencies, healthcare providers and community organizations before a crisis occurs. The article points to the coalition’s educational resources as tools to help nursing homes improve coordination, strengthen preparedness efforts and support resident safety during emergencies.
The coalition’s training programs focus on practical strategies to support staff readiness, resident safety and collaborative planning before, during and after emergency events.
