Clearpol's Opinion of this Guidance as of 11/29/2022
Requests updated emergency contact information and updated AFL recipient information from all SNFs. The designated emergency contact may be anyone designated by the facility including the house supervisor; however, the listed emergency contact must be reachable and able to respond 24 hours a day. Facilities are encouraged to provide the email address for an alternate point of contact to serve as a backup to the designated emergency contact.
CDPH encourages facilities to sign-up with their respective county emergency medical services agency and/or local department of public health emergency communications system. Use the CDPH Facility Emergency Contacts Survey Web App (arcg.is/0O4Syz). Facilities who recently updated their emergency contact information and do not have any changes do not have to submit a new update. Designation of an individual as a facility's emergency contact and the providing of that individual's contact information for inclusion in the CAHAN is voluntary.
CDPH encourages all facilities to provide contact information for a designated AFL recipient. This may be anyone designated by the facility as the primary recipient for departmental communications. Send an email to LNCPolicy@cdph.ca.gov to be added to the AFL email distribution list. Please include the email address of the individual(s) and "AFL Distribution List" in the subject line.

Clearpol's AI Summary
The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has issued a new All Facilities Letter (AFL) requesting updated emergency contact information from all healthcare facilities, including nursing homes. The letter emphasizes the importance of effective communication during public health emergencies and asks facilities to designate a contact person who can be reached 24/7. Facilities are also encouraged to provide an alternate contact and to sign up with their local emergency medical services agency or public health department. In addition to emergency contacts, the CDPH requests that facilities designate a primary recipient for departmental communications. Facilities that have recently updated their contact information are not required to resubmit. The CDPH has provided a web app for submitting the requested information and offers assistance for completing the survey. Compliance with these requests is voluntary, but the CDPH emphasizes the importance of accurate and up-to-date contact information for effective emergency response.
