The DPH is inviting nursing facilities to an upcoming virtual summit discussing the IPRO QIN-QIO’s Nursing Home Naloxone Policy and Procedure Toolkit, hosted by Abt Associates and their partner, Healthcentric Advisors.
This webinar will provide an overview of the policies and procedures that nursing homes can implement and how they can tailor them to meet the needs of individual facilities to promote preparedness and assure access to this lifesaving drug.
