<p>To help planners develop a public health emergency contact center that is
highly integrated with public health agencies, the Agency for
Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has funded development of a report and
an interactive tool set. </p> <p>Select to <a href="#Download">Download Information</a>.</p>
<hr />
<p>AHRQ's Health Emergency Assistance Line and Triage Hub (HEALTH) Model, developed
by researchers at Denver Health Medical Information Centers under an AHRQ contract,
is designed to minimize surges in patient demand on the health care delivery
system
during
a bioterrorist event or other public health emergency. The report helps planners
determine the requirements, specifications, and resources needed for developing
an emergency contact center such as the HEALTH model.</p>
<p>A companion to the report is the Contact Center Assessment Tool Set, which
will calculate the amount of your constituent population that may try to reach
your public health agency during a bioterrorism or emergency event.
The tool set allows for minimal input, as well as fine-tuning input that will
make the calculations more applicable based on the specifics of your agency,
especially your current operational and technological infrastructure and your
capability to field public inquiries.</p>
