Rapid Response Staffing Support Center Outcome Report

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) was awarded funds through the Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity (ELC) Cooperative Agreement to assist with supporting long-term care facilities, and state licensed homes, with emergency, temporary staffing support during their response to SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks. KDHE contracted with KFMC Health Improvement Partners to manage this program and the Rapid Response Staffing Support Center (RRSSC) was developed to manage the intake and fulfillment of the staffing support requests. KFMC partnered with Joint Commission certified agencies to ensure Kansas providers received high-quality, compliant, and reliable staffing solutions that prioritized resident safety and quality of care. This approach represented a strategic choice to align with industry best practices and standards, fostering confidence among residents, staff, and stakeholders alike.
