Spread joy, not the flu! This time of year brings gatherings with family and friends, and the spread of good cheer—but unfortunately, it’s also the season for spreading flu germs. Protect yourself this flu season by getting a flu vaccine! Healthcare providers can also download immunization resources from our online Shopping Bag/Resource Library (Keyword: Immunization), including those listed below. Thanks for caring Join us in showing our appreciation for the member of the healthcare team who, all too often, may be overlooked: the caregiver. These family members, friends, and others have an ongoing impact on the day-to-day lives of their loved ones, and are an important adjunct to the care provided by healthcare professionals. Our online Shopping Bag/Resource Library offers healthcare resources for these caregivers and the seniors they support. Below are just a few examples. Be a part of the action! Help us make Ohio healthcare better with the use of technology! Ohio KePRO has partnered with stakeholders throughout the state to create Ohio’s Electronic Health Record (EHR) Learning & Action Network to assist providers in achieving meaningful use of health information technology (HIT). The Network works together with the HIT Regional Extension Centers to provide an environment for shared learning, with ongoing collaborative and educational activities. Members include IT experts, vendors, community organizations and patient representatives. We encourage you to become part of the action! There is no cost to join. Infection control Especially now that the flu season is here, infection control should be top of mind for all healthcare professionals. The Ohio KePRO Shopping Bag/Resource Library offers educational resources for patients and staff, such as those listed below.
