Predicting Casualty Severity and Hospital Capacity
This planning tool helps hospitals predict the pattern of casualty severity, and their capacity to provide care after a mass casualty event.
Public Health Practices
Public Health Practices is a joint project of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at the University of Minnesota, in partnership with the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO).
Hospital Pandemic Influenza Planning Checklist
The Hospital Pandemic Influenza Planning Checklist helps hospitals assess and improve their preparedness for responding to pandemic influenza. Because of differences among hospitals (e.g., characteristics of the patient population, size of the hospital/community, scope of services), each hospital will need to adapt this checklist to meet its unique needs and circumstances.
January 2005 HepTalk Listserv
Welcome to the January 2005 edition of the Listserv. There are four parts to this edition: 1. a list of Hepatitis C Coordinators for all states with HepTalk participants; 2. Hablamos Juntos, a website with resources and information on interpreters, translations, and interpreter training; 3. a link to an article from the National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors on integrating HIV and hepatitis screening and prevention; 4. A funding opportunity which may be interesting to some HepTalk participants.
September 2006 HepTalk Listserv
Our concentration for this month (September) and next month (October) is Resources for Effective Risk Assessment. This is a primary focus of the HepTalk project, and one on which we are continuously scouting out new resources. Some of the literature and research about effective risk assessment focuses on HIV and/or gay and populations, but is also relevant for hepatitis and for a broader population.
