<hr />
<p>A public health emergency can strain the capacity of hospitals and other traditional venues for medical services. In such emergencies, it may be necessary to select alternate facilities for providing medical care. The report beginning below, and the related interactive computer tools, will help institutions and communities select alternate care facilities and determine which patients to send to them. The two new interactive tools are <strong>Disaster Alternate Care Facility Selection Tool</strong> and an ancillary tool, <strong>Alternate Care Facility Patient Selection Tool</strong>; both are available at <a href=".">https://www.ahrq.gov/prep/acfselection/</a>.</p>
<p>The report and tools provide help for community planners in:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Developing a &quot;concept of operations&quot; manual for a specific iteration of an ACF. </li>
<li>Determining staffing for an ACF.</li>
<li>Selecting hospital inpatients that might be eligible for transfer to an ACF. </li>
<li>Determining equipment and supplies necessary for an ACF, based on expert advice and the experiences of those who have operated ACFs. </li>
</ul>
