Emergency Preparedness - May 2018 Aware Prepare Newsletter & Training

The Department of Health strongly encourages operators to utilize the web-based eFINDS training and ensure that at least three facility staff persons are knowledgeable in the use of eFINDS. 

The Learning Management System (LMS) course, called CTI-502 provides a solid foundation for registering and updating patient/resident location information during an incident or event, such as a storm, flood, non-natural incident or practice/exercise drill. The webinar takes about an hour to complete. 

Prerequisite: Participants should be assigned on HCS to either the eFINDS Data Reporter or the eFINDS Reporting Administrator prior to training, and know where your eFINDS supplies (wristbands, scanner and PDF log files) are located.
