<h2>Version 2.0 BERM</h2>
|
||
<hr />
|
||
<p>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. Version 2.0 includes a customizable staff model; it offers more flexibility but requires more inputs.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The model was funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research
|
||
and Quality (AHRQ) and developed by researchers at Weill
|
||
Medical College of Cornell University after testing a variety of patient
|
||
triage and drug dispensing plans. </p><p>Select to <a href="#down">Download Information</a>.</p>

<h2>New Resource</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>The Bioterrorism and Epidemic Outbreak Response Model (BERM) predicts the
|
||
number and type of staff needed to respond to a major disease outbreak or
|
||
bioterrorism attack on a given population. Version 2.0
|
||
includes a customizable staff model with more flexibility but
|
||
requiring more inputs than the previous version.</p>
|
||
<p>This model will calculate estimates of recommended per-clinic and campaign-wide
|
||
core staff and support staff based on user inputs. These calculations are
|
||
identical to those performed in earlier versions. However, this model allows
|
||
users to enter each process time and population proportion individually,
|
||
rather than selecting 'scenarios' as in previous versions. </p>
|
||
<p>BERM allows planners to formulate realistic mass antibiotic dispensing and
|
||
vaccination contingency plans for their target populations. Such a model
|
||
provides numerical estimates and forces critical examination of assumptions
|
||
about prophylaxis clinic design and about the availability of human and materiel
|
||
resources. </p>
|
||
<p>Estimates derived from this model should be viewed as one type of data among
|
||
many that may be useful for planning. Other data might include previous local
|
||
experience with immunization campaigns or the results of training exercises
|
||
for response to bioterrorism attacks or natural disasters.
