Responding to the Opioid Crisis
Planning for both natural and man-made disasters is a priority for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). With the ending of the Public Health Emergency on May 11, 2023, CMS regulations for Emergency Preparedness (EP) require the provider/supplier to conduct exercises to test their EP plan to ensure that it works and that staff are trained appropriately about their roles and the provider/supplier’s processes.

Kidney diseases are a leading cause of death in the U.S. About 37 million U.S. adults are estimated to have CKD, and most are undiagnosed. Furthermore, 40% of people with severely reduced kidney function (not on dialysis) are not aware of having CKD. In the U.S., diabetes and high blood pressure are the leading causes of kidney failure, accounting for 3 out of 4 new cases. Download the poster below.
The opioid crisis has highlighted the widespread over-use of opioids across the nation. Older adults are especially vulnerable to the adverse effects of opioids due to the metabolic changes that come with age combined with risks inherent in polypharmacy. We want to support you in your efforts to help those who need it most. Download the poster below.
Health Equity and Health Literacy
Improving health literacy is a national priority. Research has shown that health literacy is a more important predictor of health than race, socioeconomic status or educational attainment. Download the poster below.
Improving Care Coordination
Care-Coordination-Illinois
Reducing preventable 30-day hospital readmissions is a priority for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Hospitals are not the only entity to receive financial penalties for readmissions. Skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) have been included in readmission penalties based on performance metrics as of October 1, 2018. Download the poster below.
