by Jbs022209 i3 — February 25, 2009—The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has created a new Web page, Preparedness Resources for Healthcare Facilities, that provides all-hazards resources intended for individuals at healthcare facilities tasked with ensuring that their facility is as prepared as possible for an emergency.
The healthcare facilities targeted by this page include hospitals, long-term acute and chronic care facilities, outpatient clinics and urgent care facilities, physicians’ offices, and pediatric offices and hospitals.
The section for each healthcare sector includes such resources as preparedness guidance, tools, regulatory guidance, worker preparedness resources, and other links, related to such emergencies as pandemic flu or terrorist attacks.
