Pandemic Influenza Planning for Hospitals

Pandemic Influenza Planning for Hospitals

The 2009 Statewide Medical and Health Functional Exercise Guidebook is now available for the drill on Thursday, June 18. The drill scenario will be based on a pandemic influenza outbreak in Southeast Asia that progresses to laboratory confirmed cases in CA. Communications, Medical Surge and Intelligence/Information Sharing and Dissemination will all be tested.

I'm providing this information as follow-up to my posts over the last couple of week on hospital preparedness and don't think California will mind sharing the resources with hospitals in other states.
