<h2>The Essentials </h2>
<hr />
<p>This guide from Department of Health &amp; Human Services' (HHS) Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) can help community planners prepare for public health emergencies, such as pandemic flu, when demand for medical resources outweighs supply. The guide includes information on ethical and legal issues, and on the provision of services to address pre-hospital, acute hospital care, alternative care sites, and palliative care during a public health emergency. </p>
<p>To illustrate how to apply these basic principles, the guide includes a special section on influenza pandemic preparedness. This new guide is an abbreviated version of <em><a href="/research/mce/index.html">Mass Medical Care with Scarce Resources</a></em>, published by AHRQ in 2007.</p>
