Preparing Your Future for Unexpected Disasters
Medical Preparedness is an absolute and unconditional necessity. Full stop.
2020 and Coronavirus made this reality unforgettable, forever!
Medical preparedness is an expensive direct cost to communities, large scale gatherings and events, healthcare institutions, and others. Money, lives, resource consumption, protecting vital workers, commerce, doing the “right thing.”
What matters most? What are the threats and hazards for which you should be prepared? How do healthcare facilities fit into the bigger community response picture? Who is in charge? Who decides? What tools do we need? How is all of this organized into a well coordinated, executable plan? How do we know if we are ready? Where do we begin?
Reality Happens
When a casualty generating event happens, it’s GO TIME…now!
During the initial phases of 2020 SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, while we “flattened the curve,” we also harmed routine day-to-day operations of healthcare facilities and organizations across the country. We struggled to define optimal care strategies. Many people have died. The negative economic impact was devastating. We re-learned about the necessity of government and community leaders unifying response plans with healthcare institutions. And then the pandemic increased in different areas, and the cycle began anew.
And what about non-pandemic disasters or mass casualty events? Or what about events with very large numbers of attendees, how will care happen for the many who become ill? Where and how does that care happen? What tools might help, like telehealth strategies? Right place, right time, right plan. So…what about next time?
