Elopements in Ohio long-term care facilities are increasing, creating safety risks for residents and potential citations from the Ohio Department of Health. To help providers meet federal requirements and state rules, ODH’s Provider Resources and Education Program has released a new training, “Elopement Prevention in Long-term Care Facilities.”
The free training offers continuing education for nurses, social workers, nursing home administrators, and dietitians. The training and survey readiness tool is available in the PREP section of the ODH website under Health Education Resources and Forms.
