Free Protect Nursing Homes Tool Now Available

A free new resource for nursing home leaders seeking to control infections in their facilities, ProtectNursingHomes.org, is now available. Built by Yale University, UCLA, and U.S. Digital Response, the site provides rich detail on staff interconnectivity that has long been desired by nursing home administrators and health leads, but that has been difficult to attain. It can be a helpful tool in outbreak management for COVID-19 as well as other infections that more routinely challenge nursing homes. An overview and demo of the Protect Nursing Homes tool, previously featured by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and on a LeadingAge National call, can be accessed here.
