  7. Other Components In Progress by Health Department (cont.) • Legal Issues/Authority • Disease Control • Risk Communication • Self-sufficiency • Vulnerable populations

  8. Short Term Outcome for Hospital Surge Planning Group • County “Umbrella” Plan (Health Dept. responsible) – using template addressing staffing, bed capacity, consumable and durable supplies, continuation of essential medical services • Individual plans for each hospital (using a standard template for these same components)

  13. Planning Process • Initial meeting December 1st • Each hospital to participate – CEO’s, VP Nursing, Infection Control Nurse/Infectious Disease Physician, Safety Officer, ED Nurse Manager, Materials Management Director • Each hospital will go back to facility to do the plan

  14. Process (cont.) • Stick to components identified in HHS “Surge Capacity: S3-11 • Staffing, bed capacity, consumable & durable supplies • Encourage peer-to-peer communication between facilities • December 16th follow-up meeting • Plans due December 31st

  15. Hospital Planning • HHS recommends membership of internal, multidisciplinary committee (see Appendix 2) • Convene committee as appropriate for specific components – staffing, bed capacity, consumable & durable supplies (will need broader membership later for rest of the plan)

  16. Hospital Planning • Call with questions – EMS will coordinate: (650) 573-2564 • Encourage consulting each other (between facilities) • Follow-up meeting – December 16th • Completed plans by December 31st (earlier would be great)
