About this Event
This event is being held in partnership between MNCHA and the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene Office of Preparedness and Response as part of MNCHA’s Home Care Emergency Preparedness project. This free training is intended to help members of MNCHA’s Emergency Preparedness Network prepare to meet new emergency preparedness requirements for Medicare and Medicaid Participating Providers.
The clock was reset on 11/16/17! Year 2 under CMS Emergency Regulations began counting down and will do so annually from now on. Come and join us for a tabletop exercise designed to assist with your agency’s compliance.
This will be a weather emergency exercise: Hurricane Abby 2018!
The tabletop will test your agency’s ability to respond to an emergency and meet the following areas of the CMS regulation;
• Surge capacity
• Communication
• Personal protective equipment
• Essential function identification, and
• Testing and training. This exercise will be a clinically relevant scenario led by a facilitator and will meet federal requirements.
Each attendee will receive an After Action Report they can take back to their agency for completion.
