General and H5N1 Planning Guides
.Providing Mass Medical Care with Scarce Resources: A Community Planning Guide (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality)
.For State, local, community, and facility planners, this guide discusses ethical and legal issues, and considerations regarding prehospital care, hospital/acute care, palliative care, and alternative care sites. Chapter 8 is a 29-page case study for a flu pandemic.
.Altered Standards of Care in Mass Casualty Events (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality )
.Report from an expert panel convened by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public Health Emergency Preparedness to discuss planning for emergency heath and medical care standards to ensure that the health care provided in a public health emergency such as pandemic influenza results in saving as many lives as possible.
.Adapting Community Call Centers for Crisis Support: A Model for Home-Based Care and Monitoring (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality )
.A model to enable community health call centers, such as poison control centers, nurse advice lines and other hotlines, to support home-management and shelter-in-place approaches in public health emergency events such as pandemic influenza.
.Emergency Preparedness Atlas: U.S. Nursing Home and Hospital Facilities (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality )
.To support State and local planning for a public health emergency, the Atlas includes 1) maps illustrating the size range and distribution of nursing homes and hospitals relative to preparedness regions for six case-study States, and 2) 51 State-specific maps showing the location and size of nursing homes and hospitals serving the resident population.
