The resource hub provides healthcare professionals with essential information on how to effectively prepare for and respond to disasters, empowering them to maximize patient safety in critical moments
In response to the recent hurricanes, which devastated parts of the Southeastern U.S., Relias has launched an Emergency Preparedness and Response Resources hub to give healthcare professionals the knowledge and tools they need to navigate emergencies confidently and continue providing high-quality care for their communities.
“Emergency preparedness in healthcare goes beyond having a plan — it’s about creating a culture of readiness,” said Vince Baiera, BSN, Partner, Post-Acute Care, Relias. “When healthcare professionals are equipped with the right knowledge and resources, they can respond swiftly and effectively, ensuring patient safety and minimizing disruptions to care during a crisis.”
Key features of the resource hub include:
- Free training: Courses cover essential skills for disaster preparation and response, trauma-informed care, and self-care during crises.
- Relevant articles: Best practices and insights to guide healthcare professionals in effective disaster planning and response.
- Webinars and course previews: Expert presentations on managing workplace emergencies, creating preparedness plans, and more.
Healthcare professionals, organizations, and community members can freely use and share these essential resources. By leveraging these tools, healthcare leaders can help their teams be prepared to deliver critical care when it’s needed most.
“Our hearts go out to everyone impacted by the recent hurricanes,” said Kay Krafft, Relias CEO. “Relias’ mission, to improve the lives of the most vulnerable members of society and those who care for them, means supporting healthcare providers and organizations at all times, especially as they encounter difficult circumstances.”
As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting the healthcare community, Relias recently collaborated with the American Red Cross, helping raise over $16,000 to support disaster relief efforts for those affected by Hurricane Helene.
