I. In the unfortunate circumstance your community experiences a COVID-19 event, do you have a communication strategy in place?
How you manage a COVID-19 event will have far-reaching impact for residents, patients, families, staff, and your community. Having a solid communication plan in place will assure an organized response and will effectively reduce confusion, build trust, and – most importantly – keep everyone safe.

II. In response to the COVID-19 crisis, several important updates from CMS and the Department of Health & Human Services were posted last weekend. HealthPRO® Heritage’s COVID-19 Task Force immediately released summaries about the updates (waivers of the 3-day stay & the 60-day wellness break).
Clinical Strategies subject-matter experts, Kristi Smith & Elisa Bovee, provided some much-needed perspective and interpretation of what these new changes mean for patients, staff, and your IDT’s processes.
Please ensure Administrators, DONs, MDS & Rehab Leaders receive this information!
