<h3>AHRQ Hospital Surge Model</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The AHRQ Hospital Surge Model estimates the hospital resources (personnel, equipment, and supplies) required to treat victims of disasters and other emergencies, including biological, chemical, radiological, and conventional attacks. The estimates are based on a user-specified number and type of casualties presenting at hospitals.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Surge Model is available at <a href="/prep/hospsurgemodel/">https://www.ahrq.gov/prep/hospsurgemodel/</a>. The web site includes documentation that explains important Surge Model assumptions. Funding and leadership to support the Hospital Surge Model were provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response through an Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality contract with Abt Associates.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>EPRI comes pre-loaded with eight Resource Groups that correspond to Surge Model scenarios:</p>

<p>The number of resources in these eight Resource Groups ranges from 30 to 100, and includes resources that are important for treating casualties from the particular attack.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The resource requirements that the Surge Model estimates can be compared to available resources inventoried in EPRI to identify gaps, which in turn can inform purchasing, grant writing, and resource sharing decisions.</p>

<h3>Emergency Request</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>An emergency request is a request for information about a specific set of resources that is sent to a specific set of locations. More specifically, an emergency request is sent to a specific Location Group for information about a specific Resource Group. In contrast to "inventory," an emergency request focuses on immediate or short-term resource <strong><em>availability</em></strong> or resource <strong><em>needs</em></strong>.</p>

|
|
|
<p class="size2"><a href="index.html#contents">Return to Contents</a></p>
|
|
<a name="location" id="location"></a>
|
|
<h3>Location</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Within EPRI, a location is either (1) a physical location where resources are maintained or (2) the name of an agency or organization that owns, is responsible for, or controls access to resources. The EPRI Administrator creates locations in EPRI, as part of the setup and customization process.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class="size2"><a href="index.html#contents">Return to Contents</a></p>
|
|
<a name="group" id="group"></a>
|
|
<h3>Location Group</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>A Location Group is a collection of one or more locations. A Location Group must be specified when an EPRI inventory report is run or when an emergency request for information is made.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can see a list of Location Groups that have been created by running the "Location Group Listing" report under the Reports keyword.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>EPRI Administrators can create Location Groups for other EPRI users. In addition, EPRI users who can either run an inventory report or create a new emergency request can create a Location Group "on the fly" when running the report or creating the request. Both the form for building an inventory report and the form for creating an emergency request have an option to create a new location group (go to <a href="epriusrman2.htm">Chapter 2, Resource Inventory Reports</a>, for more information).</p>

<a name="type" id="type"></a>
|
|
<h3>Location Type</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Location Type is an attribute of a location that categorizes the location. Hospitals, Health Departments, Emergency Management Agencies, and Schools are examples of Location Types.</p>

|
|
<h3>Organization</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>An organization is an EPRI construct whose primary purpose is to determine the locations for which EPRI users can enter inventory data.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Each EPRI location belongs to an organization. In addition, each EPRI user belongs to an organization, which is specified when the user is created. <strong><em>An EPRI user with either the data entry or data manager role for an organization has the ability to enter and update the inventory for only those locations that belong to that organization</em>.</strong></p>

<a name="resource" id="resource"></a>
|
|
<h3>Resource</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>A resource, in EPRI, is a type of item - such as a particular type of <strong>equipment</strong> (e.g., an adult ventilator), <strong>vehicle</strong> (e.g., Type I, Fixed-Wing Air Ambulance), <strong>staff position</strong> (e.g., a Registered Nurse), or a <strong>team</strong> of individuals (Type I Mobile Field Medical Team) - that is being tracked in EPRI. A resource <strong><em>does not</em></strong> refer to a specific piece of equipment (e.g., the ventilator with serial number 123456789) or a specific person (e.g., Jane Doe).</p>

<h3>Resource Group</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>A Resource Group is a collection of one or more resources. A Resource Group is used in EPRI to create an inventory data entry screen, and must also be specified when an EPRI inventory report is run or when an emergency request for information is made.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>EPRI comes pre-loaded with nine Resource Groups:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul><li>Eight correlate to the resources in the AHRQ Surge Model for different disaster scenario (go to "AHRQ Surge Model" in Chapter 5).</li>
|
|
<li>The "HAvBED Resource Group" contains the resources included in HHS's HAvBED system.<sup><a href="#note2">2</a></sup></li></ul>

<h3>Resource Type</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Resource Types are sets of similar resources. The resources that come pre-loaded with EPRI (go to "<a href="#resource">Resource</a>", above) have been categorized into four different Resource Types:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul><li>Hospital Beds.</li>
|
|
<li>Hospital Equipment.</li>
|
|
<li>Hospital Personnel.</li>
|
|
<li>Hospital Supplies.</li></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>EPRI Administrators can create new Resource Types, as desired.</p>
