Using Reddinet for SNF bed availability ReddiNet is an online tool that can be used to provide SNF bed availability and updates on SNF status during disasters. Jan Koegler, MPH Public Health Emergency Preparedness Program

SNF Bed Availability During SNF evacuations a rapid assessment of available SNF beds is needed Phone calls take time Messages regarding numbers of beds can be inaccurate SNF bed availability can change quickly
