Latest HRST Mortality Research: Results, COVID-19, and DSP Shortages Webinar
For several years, Georgia’s Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) has used the Health Risk Screening Tool (HRST) in its annual mortality report.
In this webinar, we’ll briefly take a look at the data from this year’s study and will also talk about the impacts of COVID-19 and the DSP shortages felt nationwide.
Join us to learn more about these topics and, if you are an HRST user, how you can take steps to lessen these impacts on those you support.
