Virtual Online Tabletop Exercise
VORTTX Training and Testing strives to be
the premier provider of virtual staff training
programs for long-term healthcare providers
and other regulated industries.

Long-term healthcare facilities are required by State and Federal
licensing to train all staff on specific emergency response protocols
and prove their proficiency.
There is not a standard staff training program for long-term
healthcare facility emergency response protocols. The Center for
Disease Control (CDC) provides a complex (280 page) workbook
of rules, regulations, basic outlines and worksheets for recording
training responses only.

State and Federal Regulations:
• Every new long-term healthcare facility employee must be
oriented and competent with emergency procedures on their
first day of employment.
• In addition, every department is required participate in a fire
drill a minimum of once every quarter. Each department has
different requirements of in-service (on the job training) each
month and year.
• Annually each facility has to certify to surveyors (state
or federal inspectors) that every staff member is
competent in safety (specifically fire).

2016 FEMA Reporting:
• Federal regulations require that Medicare and Medicaid
certified nursing homes have written emergency plans and
provide employees with emergency preparedness training.
• Most nursing homes nationwide met Federal requirements for
written emergency plans and preparedness training. However,
gaps in nursing home preparedness and response were found.
Emergency plans lacked relevant information—including
only about half of the tasks on the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services checklist.

2016 FEMA Reporting:
• Federal regulations state that facilities must “train all
employees in emergency procedures when they begin to work
in the facility, periodically review the procedures with existing
staff, and carry out unannounced staff drills using those
procedures.”

for facility operations comes from the CDC Office of Public
Health Preparedness and Response Long-term, Acute and
Chronic Care as a (280 page Word doc.) action plan Long-

The VORTTX Training and Testing System was developed by
Tadd Weese, Director of Facilities Management at Saint Simeon’s
in Tulsa, OK. As a part of his ongoing mission to make Saint
Simeon’s the safest place, Weese and his business partner Kyle
Golding of The Golding Group, created VORTTX to allow any

“I did not seek out a career in this profession, but I found myself
here anyway. When I stopped to really look at what it was all
about, I completely bought into the Mission of Saint Simeon’s. I
want to take that passion for creating the safest places, and most
prepared staff to every place someone’s parents, grandparent,
friends or other loved ones may find themselves living. This is the
purpose of VORTTX Training and we take it very seriously.”
VORTTX Co-Founder Tadd Weese

Emergency Response Training Needs/Concerns of Long-Term
Healthcare Facilities
1. Local, state and Federal license compliance (reporting, cost
saving).
2. Well-trained staff creates less liability (cost saving).

Additional Benefits of Effective Emergency Response Training
3. Well-trained staff is a best practice marketing point (selling,
point, client attraction).
4. Well-trained staff is easier to retain, less turnover and less
additional training (cost saving).
5. End report shows areas that need additional training with no
guessing or wasted effort (efficiency, cost reduction, liability).

VORTTX Virtual Tabletop Exercise is the smart, simple way to
train (or prepare) facility staff for emergency response situations.
• Situational based testing with variable scenarios determined
by answers given.
• Prove training and testing while learning staff deficiency or
additional training needs.
• More efficient delivery method (online, variable response) than
in-person (expensive) third party facilitator and more effective
than written (no variables) exams.

Team VORTTX

• 67,000 regulated long-term care services providers facilities
• 15,600 Nursing Homes
• The number of people using nursing facilities, alternative
residential care places, or home care services is projected to
increase from 15 million in 2000 to 27 million in 2050 (HHS,
2003). Most of this increase will be due to growth in the older
adult population who need such services (HHS, 2003).
• The number of Americans over age 65 is projected to more
than double from 40.2 million in 2010 to 88.5
million in 2050 (Vincent Velkoff, 2010).
• Those aged 85 and over are projected to almost
triple, from 6.3 million in 2015 to 17.9
million in 2050 and will account for 4.5%
of the total population (United States
Census Bureau, 2012).

VORTTX Launch Plan
• Private BETA of the fully operational VORTTX Training system
via vorttx.com began Summer 2016.
• Public BETA began in November 2016 in conjunction with the
LeadingAge Annual Meeting and Expo in Indianapolis, IN.
• Full public release at LeadingAge Oklahoma Conference on
March 7-8th 2017 in Midwest City, OK.
• Currently attempting to certify VORTTX training for
Professional Continuing Education credits.
