ISDH Data Collection and COVID-19 PPE Inventory Tracking
 
The Indiana State Department of Health issues a request to nursing facilities, licensed residential care centers/assisted living communities to register to use EMResource. This is a web-based resource management and communication tool to monitor and notify changes in resources status, ISDH is asking you to update your PPE supplies daily in this tool so that resources can be distributed efficiently.
 
First, you will need to set up your account then watch the training video. Please contact me with any question or problems tmiller@hoosierownersandproviders.org
