Creating a State Elderly Fatality Review Team

IAFN is hosting its 1st webinar of 2013: Creating a State Elderly Fatality Review Team. The session will be held January 30th from 1-2pm Eastern. CEUs are available for this one, and cost to attend is $15 ($30 for non-members). From the site:

Has your state or community thought about creating an Elder Fatality Review Team? Do you wonder what steps are involved, who the key players should be, and what exactly the role of the forensic nurse is on the team? Join us to learn all this and more! In 2001 Maine was selected as one of four states in a pilot program for a Department of Justice funded initiative to create and expand the fatality review team concept, and to develop and disseminate a replication and best practices guide. Following years of case reviews, the presenters will share their experience developing and implementing a nationally-recognized Elder Fatality Review Team in Maine, and what the forensic nurse brings to the team.
