Shelter In Place Planning Resource Guide for Nursing Homes

This guide discusses the steps needed to prepare to shelter-in-place, and the related considerations and potential exposures nursing homes must account for in developing applicable decision criteria and protocols. Detailed planning worksheets and decision trees are included. (Note that this guide was created prior to the release of the 2016 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services [CMS] Emergency Preparedness [EP] Rule, which planners should reference to ensure compliance for their organizations.)
