\nA first of its kind national conference on disaster preparedness in long term care facilities will be held May 21-22 at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha.<\/p>\n

\nDuring a disaster, residents in long term and residential care facilities are at higher risk for injuries and therefore require special assistance. The conference, titled, “Long Term\/Residential Care Disaster Preparedness: Protecting Our Most Vulnerable,” will offer new information and insight, as well as better prepare professionals for disasters.<\/p>\n

\n“Long term care facilities have a vulnerable population, and also may be expected to provide health care to others after a disaster. Preparation and planning are critical,” said Philip Smith, M.D., professor of infectious diseases at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and author of “Infection Control in Long Term Care Facilities.”<\/p>\n

\nThe conference will feature speakers from around the country who have experienced disaster situations in long term\/residential care facilities as well as experts in Medicare and Medicaid requirements.<\/p>\n

\nThe two-day training includes continuing education credits for physicians, nurses, and assisted living administers. Several networking opportunities will be available throughout the conference, which will provide a chance for participants to share their own stories and lessons learned. Cost of the conference is $195 for both days.<\/p>\n

\nA complete agenda, registration information, as well as information on others programs offered by the center are available at www.preped.org<\/a> or by contacting the center at 402.552.2529.<\/p>\n

\nThe Center for Preparedness Education is a joint endeavor between Creighton University School of Medicine and the University of Nebraska Medical Center. The center provides affordable, needs-based training; customized organizational assistance; and comprehensive resources to those involved in disaster preparedness, response and recovery. <\/em><\/p>\n
