At EQiGate, we have developed a best practice in the retirement space that utilizes graphic-based emergency flows, specifically flow charts, to simplify the understanding and training of staff and residents regarding emergency coordination.
The best practice entails creating visual representations of emergency response processes, using flow charts that outline the step-by-step actions to be taken during various emergency scenarios.
These flow charts are prominently displayed in common areas, staff training materials, and resident handbooks.
Residents are actively involved in the best practice by being familiarized with the flow charts during orientation sessions, and regular reminders and updates are provided to ensure ongoing awareness. Staff members receive comprehensive training on utilizing the flow charts, including practicing simulated emergency scenarios using the graphic-based flows.
