<p>The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's research in public health
|
|
emergency preparedness is an outgrowth of its mission to develop evidence-based
|
|
information to improve the quality of the U.S. health care system. This is critical
|
|
to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services developing programs to combat
|
|
bioterrorism and other public health emergencies such as pandemic flu.</p>
|
|
<p>To help communities prepare for a flu pandemic and other emergencies, AHRQ
|
|
offers these tools from its Bioterrorism and Emergency Preparedness Program. </p>

<h3>Bioterrorism and Epidemic Outbreak Response Model (BERM) Version 2</h3>
|
|
<p>BERM allows planners to formulate realistic mass antibiotic dispensing and
|
|
vaccination contingency plans for target populations. This computer model predicts
|
|
the number and type of staff needed to respond to a major disease outbreak or
|
|
bioterrorism attack on a given population. The model will calculate estimates of
|
|
recommended per-clinic and campaign-wide core staff and support staff based on user inputs.</p>

<a href="/research/biomodel.htm">https://www.ahrq.gov/research/biomodel.htm</a> for the model.</p>
|
|
<h3>Community-Based Mass Prophylaxis: A Planning Guide for Public Health
|
|
Preparedness</h3>
|
|
<p>This comprehensive guide can help planners set up and operate dispensing/vaccination centers to respond to a large-scale natural disease epidemic such as pandemic flu. An accompanying computer model can help local health care systems calculate needs based on projected number of staff and patients. The model is downloadable as a spreadsheet or accessible as a Web-based version. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p><img src="/images/arrow_rt.gif" alt="" height="11" width="8" /> Go to:

|
|
<h3>Development of Models for Emergency Preparedness: Personal Protective Equipment, Decontamination, Isolation/Quarantine, and Laboratory Capacity</h3>
|
|
<p>The evidence-based, best-practice models provided for each of these areas can help health care professionals plan for and respond to public health emergencies. Of interest to planners preparing for pandemic flu is a practical application for care of infectious victims.</p>
|
|
<p><img src="/images/arrow_rt.gif" alt="" height="11" width="8" /> Go to:
|

|
|
<h3>Emergency Preparedness Resource Inventory (EPRI)—Second Generation</h3>
|
|
<p>This Web-based tool allows local or regional planners to compile an inventory of resources needed to respond to emergencies and to determine what resources are available during an emergency. </p>
|
|
<p><img src="/images/arrow_rt.gif" alt="" height="11" width="8" /> Go to:<a href="/research/epri/">https://www.ahrq.gov/research/epri/index.html</a> to
|
|
download the tool and its components.</p>
|
|
<h3>Health Emergency Assistance Line and Triage Hub (HEALTH)</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>This resource helps planners determine requirements and resources needed to
|
|
develop an emergency contact center and prepare for potential surges in patient
|
|
demand on the health care delivery system. The accompanying <a href="/research/health/health.asp">Contact
|
|
Center Assessment Tool Set</a> calculates the number of people who may try
|
|
to reach a public health agency during an emergency.</p>
|
|
<p><img src="/images/arrow_rt.gif" alt="" height="11" width="8" /> Go to:<a href="/research/health/">https://www.ahrq.gov/research/health/</a> for
|
|
this report and tool.</p>
|
|
<h3>Mass Medical Care with Scarce Resources: A Community Planning Guide</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>This guide provides planners at all levels with information on planning for
|
|
and responding to a mass casualty event. Experts provide information on prehospital
|
|
care, hospital and acute care, alternative care sites, palliative care, ethical
|
|
issues, and legal considerations. The guide includes a flu pandemic case
|
|
study.</p>
|

<h3>National Hospital Available Beds for Emergencies and Disasters (HAvBED) System</h3>
|
|
<p>This prototype for a national hospital-bed tracking system will help the
|
|
Government address a patient surge during a flu pandemic or other emergency. Among
|
|
its features are recommended national hospital bed definitions. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p><img src="/images/arrow_rt.gif" alt="" height="11" width="8" /> Go to: <a href="/research/havbed/definitions.htm">https://www.ahrq.gov/research/havbed/definitions.htm</a> for
|
|
the definitions.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Reopening Shuttered Hospitals to Expand Surge Capacity </h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>This comprehensive guide helps planners determine in advance of a pandemic
|
|
or other public health emergency whether any local shuttered hospitals can
|
|
be used to increase surge capacity. The report is accompanied by a Surge
|
|
Toolkit and Facilities Checklist<strong> </strong>for planning and site inspection. </p>
|
|
|
|

<h3>Rocky Mountain Regional Care Model for Bioterrorist Events-Locate Alternate Care Sites During an Emergency </h3>
|
|
<p>This resource and its accompanying tool, the <a href="/research/altsites/altmatrix1_final.htm">Alternate
|
|
Medical Care Selection Matrix</a>, helps State and local officials quickly
|
|
locate alternate health care sites if hospitals are overwhelmed because of
|
|
a bioterrorism attack or other public health emergency. </p>
|
|
<p><img src="/images/arrow_rt.gif" alt="" height="11" width="8" /> Go to:
