<h2>Personal Protective Equipment, Decontamination, Isolation/Quarantine, and
|
|
Laboratory Capacity</h2>
|
|
<h4>Bioterrorism and Other Public Health Emergencies<br />
|
|
Tools and Models for Planning and Preparedness</h4>
|
|
<hr />
|
|
<p>The emergency preparedness models in this report can help field- and facility-based
|
|
health care professionals plan for and respond to bioterrorism events or public
|
|
health emergencies. The evidence-based, best-practice
|
|
models provide guidance on personal protective equipment, decontamination,
|
|
isolation/quarantine, and laboratory capacity. The models were developed for
|
|
the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) by Science Applications
|
|
International Corporation (SAIC).</p>

<h2>Background</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Of potential interest to emergency responders and health care professionals is a practical application for care of contaminated or infectious victims or first responders. In addition, a separate ready-to-use Mass Casualty Detailed Decontamination Model for calculating decontamination throughput and decontamination site staffing is available from SAIC. (Select for <a href="#info">information</a> on how to request this model.) The models also give guidance on handling laboratory surge capacity and effective isolation or quarantine methods.</p> <p>Sample contents of the four models follow. </p>
