COVID-19 After Action Reviews for ICF/IID Programs

With the emergency response to the COVID-19 pandemic, ICF/IIDs need to take steps to ensure compliance with CMS Appendix Z Emergency Preparedness Regulations which require ICF/IIDs to analyze their responses to, and maintain documentation of, all drills, tabletop exercises, and emergency events.

This webinar will walk attendees through the After Action Review process as a strategy to ensure compliance, provide an overview of the regulatory requirements (including the March 2021 updates in the State Operations Manual Guidance for Appendix Z), and share lessons learned in how to conduct a meaningful COVID-19 After Action Review and report. Participants will walk away with tips and tools to improve their organization’s preparedness/response and improve their Appendix Z compliance.

This webinar is most appropriate for ICF/IID employees responsible for Emergency Preparedness Regulatory compliance to include QIDPs, administrators, supervisory staff, and safety officers.

A recording will be made available to all registrants.
