Emergency Preparedness at Major Medical Centers

A panel moderated by Brian Kelly discussed emergency preparedness at major medical centers. Among the topics they addressed were local and state coordination of disaster responses and planning, staffing and personnel issues in emergencies and pandemic outbreaks, and resources to meet future challenges. They also responded to questions from the audience.

At the day-long Emergency Preparedness Health Summit, health executives, emergency preparedness experts, and leaders of hospitals and medical schools proposed a series of recommendations for hospital administrators, first responders and others to consult as they consider their own preparedness measures. close
