COVID-19 Resources Catalog for Nursing Homes
AHRQ provided free training and mentorship to nursing homes across the country through the National Nursing Home COVID-19 Action Network. The Network supported the implementation of evidence-based prevention and safety practices within nursing homes to protect residents and staff from infection. AHRQ is curating resources from the Network’s curriculum and continuing to develop new resources.
The following resources catalog is a searchable database of COVID-19 nursing home safety and quality improvement resources. Use the filters on the left to view resources by topic, source, resource type, date, and audience. The Catalog is continually refined and updated as new resources become available.
