Superior Health Quality Alliance (Superior Health) is working with health care providers and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to ensure a clear sharing of critical information is happening as we address the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
The most up-to-date information is available on the following websites:
Project Firstline, a resource from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) contains infection control educational materials recommended for annual training and training of new hires.
Toolkit: A Goal That Will Stick – This toolkit is collection of resources you can use, depending on your needs, to help residents and staff set “A Goal That Will Stick” to get up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines and have a healthy year.
The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine (AMDA) COVID-19 Vaccine Education Toolkit — This toolkit includes Q&As for staff, patients, residents and family members. Note: AMDA membership is not required to access AMDA’s COVID-19 Vaccination Toolkit, however, you will need to create an account (which is free) if you don’t already have one.
COVID-19 Vaccination Communication Toolkit — Medical centers, clinics and clinicians can use or adapt these ready-made materials to build confidence about COVID-19 vaccination among healthcare teams and staff. This toolkit also provides resources that can be used to educate patients and answer questions about the vaccines.
Best Practices on Vaccine Storage and Handling – An addendum with best practices and other resources has been added to CDC’s Vaccine Storage and Handling Toolkit to assist COVID-19 vaccination providers with proper storage and handling of COVID-19 vaccines and aims to help providers meet the requirements of the COVID-19 Vaccination Program Provider Agreement. The addendum will be updated with specific information for each COVID-19 product. You may sign up for email updates anytime the toolkit is updated.
COVID-19 Vaccine Training Module for HCP – An on-demand module, COVID-19 Vaccine Training Module for Healthcare Providers, is continually updated for health care providers who will be administering the COVID-19 vaccine. The training includes information about COVID-19 vaccine emergency use authorizations, vaccine safety and general information about vaccine storage, handling, administration and reporting.
