Long-Term Care Emergency Preparedness Educational Series
The Patient Safety Authority (PSA) is starting a 12-month long-term care emergency preparedness educational series, as identified by respondents of the 2020 PA LTCF annual survey.
Pennsylvania is vulnerable to multiple threats and hazards, including severe weather, hazardous materials spill, active shooter, terrorism, and infectious disease outbreak. While each of these threats is itself a problem, they may also disrupt power, telephone, and potable water delivery, as well as access to provisions such as food, staffing, medical supplies, and gasoline—making disaster preparedness critical to the safety of long-term care facilities.
This series aims to provide resources for facilities to develop their emergency preparedness plan to protect the lives and property of residents, staff, and visitors.
Hosted by a Certified Financial Planner at Wharton Wealth Planning, David B. Rosenstrock, CFP®. Today’s economic conditions make it particularly important to safeguard your future. Review some of our favorite asset protection, retirement savings, and personal finance strategies for nurses.

PSNA presents the 2022 Virtual Summit: The Informed Nurse: Identifying and Avoiding Risk in the Nursing Profession. On Friday, October 7, nurses and nursing students will be given a better understanding of the legal risks and implications for their healthcare practice. “Nurses at all levels and across all settings provide care in demanding work environments with challenges that predate the COVID-19 pandemic. Consider this: a typical nurse’s shift is fast-paced and high stakes, with constant patient turnover, inadequate staffing levels, varying patient acuity, exposure to infectious disease, and risk of work-related injury and violence. All of these factors impede the delivery of safe patient care, and nurses too often find themselves working under conditions that increase the likelihood of adverse outcomes from tragic mistakes.” the American Nurses Association, in response to the sentencing of nurse RaDonda Vaught. The PSNA Virtual Summit is an opportunity for learners to ensure they know how to protect themselves, their careers, and ultimately, their patients. The day will include presentations on Just Culture, Psych Safety, Ethics, and more! Plus, a panel of experts will answer attendees’ questions on practicing safely.
