Public Health Preparedness: Integrating Public Health and Hospital Preparedness Programs

[摘要] An important component of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) cooperative agreements for public health and hospital emergency preparedness has been to encourage linkages between local health departments and hospitals (as well as with other key stakeholders) to more effectively address different aspects of preparedness. Hospitals and public health departments have employed different approaches for doing so and have varied in their focus on such areas as patient treatment and infection control, quarantine and isolation procedures, disease surveillance and reporting, and/or risk communication.
