Adopt Project Firstline

Project Firstline helps healthcare workers understand, think critically, and apply infection control actions.

Project Firstline offers easy-to-use, accurate, and free infection control training resources in multiple formats to align with healthcare workers’ learning needs and preferences. This tool can help you achieve success in providing staff with consistent and effective education related to infection prevention and control, which was developed by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

 IPRO QIN QIO nursing home team recommends that you consider using these resources in a structured way or as a “just in time” learning opportunity.

Substance Use Disorder Treatment and Access Policy and Procedure Toolkit for Nursing Homes and Adult Care Facilities

This Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Treatment and Access Policy and Procedure Toolkit for Nursing Homes and Adult Care Facilities is intended to provide easy-to-adapt policies and procedures for facilities that wish to implement or improve their care for residents with SUD, which includes access to behavioral health resources, medications, telehealth, and referral networks. Most of the policies deal with opioid use disorder treatment, as this was the overarching need identified by nursing homes and adult care facilities; however, this toolkit was designed to be modified, and future updates will include additional substance use disorder policies.
