Staffing, Stress and Surviving the Day-to-Day Challenges of a Pandemic Webinar

Wednesday, June 17, 2020
12:30pm - 1:30pm
Presented by: Pam Campbell
Market Insights Specialist, PointClickCare
A 2020 LeadingAge Connecticut Gold Partner

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, staffing shortages are commonplace due to healthcare providers' (HCP) exposures, illness, or need to care for family members at home. Healthcare facilities must be prepared for potential staffing shortages and have plans in place to mitigate these, including communicating with HCP about actions the facility is taking to address shortages and maintain patient and HCP safety. Part of the mitigation plan should be to provide resources to assist HCP with anxiety and stress.

This webinar will address resources available to help facilities mitigate staffing shortages and how we can take care of our HCP's during this stressful time. Learning objectives include:

• Assess staffing needs and minimum staff needed to provide a safe work environment and resident care
• Discuss strategies for bolstering the staffing of your facility
• Review Return to Work Criteria
• Evaluate your mitigation strategies, both physically and mentally/emotionally to promote a healthy environment in your facility
• Explore stress and anxiety reducing strategies to implement in your facility... culture change!
