What's NextTM Decontamination Sustainment Program
Maintaining a level of response capability in a skill that is used infrequently can be challenging for any program. Once emergency response training for decontamination is complete, sometimes it's difficult to determine the next steps to sustain your level of preparedness. DQE's Sustainment Program is a response to common requests from hospitals for:
- An efficient and affordable means to provide ongoing training to hospital staff
- A standardized mentoring program that could be easily maintained by an internal instructor and/or coordinator
- A process to provide ongoing support to program management and hospital leadership
