ATLANTA Researchers in Georgia State University s School of Public Health and Emory University s School of Medicine have received a $600,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to help nursing homes implement practices to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 and stop the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
The grant allows the public health team from the School of Public Health s Center for Leadership in Disability (CLD) to collaborate with researchers from Emory University s School of Medicine and Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program to form Georgia s National Nursing Home COVID-19 Action Network (NNHCAN). Georgia State will be the hub for the Extension Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) model for the NNHCAN project by recruiting nursing homes to take part in program and managing the ECHO training and data platform.
