Recovery Survey
As you know, the aging services community continues to struggle with negative press coverage. Despite what is being reported, we know the great care that your teams are providing – and we know that many residents are getting well and thriving under your care. To that end, we are partnering with our colleagues at INALA, IHCA, INCAL, and HOPE to collect positive news about the treatment of COVID-19 residents.
This effort is aimed at collecting the number of residents that have recovered from COVID-19 and communicating this positive news with the press, government officials, and the public. The process for collecting and reporting this data is as follows:
- Each week, you will receive an email reminder requesting submission of the data for your entire company or individual facility. If you want this email to go to a specific person at your company or facility, email Eric Essley.
- Data collection will be done on a weekly basis and will capture all recoveries experienced from the prior week.
- Data submission can be done directly on the IHCA website at the below link or by uploading an Excel file on that same IHCA webpage (please use the template Excel file for submissions).
- Data requested is just 3 data elements per facility (Name, # of Recoveries, Facility Zip).
- Submitters only need select the reporting period and supply their name and email.
The data submission will be open for three days. After the process ends, IHCA will analyze the data and prepare reports and a press release. The goal is to release the data by Thursday of each week, containing recovery data from the prior week. We will only report aggregate data on a statewide basis or by zip code groupings (depending on volume of data).
FSSA is asking all Providers to participate in a survey entitled - The Availability of Technology to Promote Social Connectivity Survey.
The purpose of this survey is to further explore the utilization of technology within facilities and to help us identify opportunities and potential solutions to address social isolation and to better enable meaningful interaction among staff, residents and loved ones.
FSSA would to encourage facilities to respond to this survey no later than June 1.
The survey can be found here.
