The following Health Quality Innovation Network resource is a 9-week education series tailored for nursing home stand-up meetings, aimed at decreasing preventable emergency room (ED) visits and hospital readmissions.

Each week of this resource contains five short, concentrated evidence-based talking points that can easily be included in daily stand-up meetings to increase staff knowledge on relevant topics like effective communication, adverse drug events and infection prevention. The program is designed to empower caregivers with practical knowledge to foster a safer environment.

Download the topic(s) that you want to focus on in your facility or download the entire series and work through all nine weeks.
