Summary:
The purpose of this program is to prepare the health care delivery system to save lives during emergencies that exceed the day-to-day capacity of health care and emergency response systems. The program enables the formation of public-private partnerships among multiple types of health care, public health, and emergency management organizations, empowering health care entities to save lives during disasters and emergencies.
Award recipients are required to invest in health care coalitions (HCCs) to provide a foundation for health care readiness. For the purposes of this program, an HCC is a network of individual public and private health care and response organizations in a defined geographic location that partner to conduct preparedness activities and collaborate to ensure that each member has what it needs to respond to disasters and emergencies.
The program is structured as a whole-of-community endeavor that connects health care entities at the local, state, regional, and national levels to plan for and respond to emergencies and disasters by:
- Addressing community needs: helping health care entities to meet the needs of their communities in times of emergency
- Building connectivity: integrating and coordinating recipient public health agencies, HCCs, and coalition members to ensure all people have equitable access to care
- Saving lives: enabling the health care delivery system to continue to provide care during a disaster or emergency, improve patient outcomes, and save lives
Recipients and their HCC(s) will use the information provided in the Preparedness&ResponseCapabilities file to support their approach to whole-community health care readiness. They will also use the capabilities as a guide for how they may work with partners across the health care delivery system to prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies and disasters.
Award recipients and their HCC(s) are expected to advance the following key outcomes:
- Establish and act on multiyear priorities:
- Health care delivery system readiness to respond to a shifting threat landscape and community needs over multiple years
- Continuous programmatic and administrative improvement on multiyear priorities
- Enhance and sustain HCCs: HCC governance, management, and operations that reflect community partnerships
- Coordination:
- Coordinated planning and decision-making among health care delivery system partners
- State, local, tribal, and territorial agencies, HCCs, and other partners provide integrated health care response incident management
- Continuity of health care service delivery:
- A resilient health care workforce able to safely meet response and recovery demands
- Sufficient space, systems, staff, and resources to support patient movement and patient care delivery during response and recovery
