The Joint Commission and the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services have instituted new training requirements for all UMH employees (regular and temporary), volunteers, contractors, and some Medical School employees.  We are required to provide emergency preparedness training as follows:

• On hire
• Biennially
• Whenever there are significant changes to an emergency preparedness policy or plan

As of November 2024, a new curriculum, Emergency Management Preparedness Training PREP-C10057 will be available and assigned every two years, allowing staff to choose to take either the full module or an abbreviated module that indicates their knowledge of this subject.

Training Completion Email Received on 11/26/24: Upon the initial assignment of PREP-C10057, individuals who stayed in compliance received a training completion email, which included links and resources for Emergency Management Operations Preparedness Training. Please note that this is not a training assignment. You will be assigned PREP-C10057 when your biennial completion is due.

Starting the week of November 25th, 2024, a new curriculum, Emergency Management Preparedness Training PREP-C10057, will replace the existing standalone online course, Emergency Management Operations Preparedness Training PREP-10057. The updated curriculum offers two online course options, and completing either one will fulfill the training requirement. Training should be completed within 30 days of assignment.

1. ABBREVIATED MODULE: New Content Only & Quiz: Emergency Management Operations Preparedness Training PREP-10058 - This course should only be taken by those who have previously completed PREP-10057.
2. FULL MODULE: Comprehensive Review & Quiz: Emergency Management Operations Preparedness Training PREP-10057 - This course is required for new hires or anyone who has not previously completed any version of this module.

The updated version of this training will now be required biennially, instead of annually. Your assignment to the new curriculum will be determined based on your last completion date of PREP-10057.
