SUMMARY:patient Placement Training
DESCRIPTION:As we prepare for the 2024 Hurricane Season\, the number one task during a major hurricane is to safely evacuate our patients or receive other State patients. Knowing how to use the State Evacuation and Transportation Board is key to the success of an evacuation or transfer process. Our State partners will provide “in-person” training on April 8th from 1:00 – 3:00 PM in Memorial Hospital Heart & Vascular Building\, Conference Room E to walk us through the process. \n\n\n\nClick here to register for the training:  \n\n\n\nhttps://training.gema.ga.gov/TRS/broadcastInvite.do?biCofId=59113 \n\n\n\nPlease meet in the Heart & Vascular Building Lobby area to gain access to the conference room no later than 12:45. \n\n\n\nIf you are a facility with in-patients and may need the State assistance\, I encourage you (discharge personnel\, Case Managers) to attend this webinar. Remember\, we could also be asked to received patients from other facilities from around the state. \n\n\n\nIf you do not have a login for your facility\, please contact Selelia Williams at swilliams@gha.org \n\n\n\nWe encourage you to bring a work computer to log on to the website during the training. \n\n\n\nPlease contact Susan or Jimmy for additional information.

SUMMARY:Plum Case Communication Redundancy Equipment Training
DESCRIPTION:A plum case provides portable high- speed internet and voice communications to a large number of people in almost any location. Region J has purchased three plum cases that can be used for internet accessibility. As you know\, redundancy in communication is critical to our operations and support. Having access to the internet is becoming a basic need to maintain that communication.  \n\n\n\nTo be eligible to use one of the Region J Plum Cases for an emergency or training\, you must have taken a training on how to use it. \n\n\n\nThe Plum Case Rep will be at Memorial Health to offer a training on the basic use of this equipment on January 16th at 1:00 – 3:00 PM in the Education Building\, Classroom 1 near the Emergency Department. \n\n\n\nTo register for the training and be eligible to use one of the Region J plum cases\, please click the link below: \n\n\n\nhttps://training.gema.ga.gov/TRS/broadcastInvite.do?biCofId=59069
