In early 2007, the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) created the Task Force for Mass Critical Care During a Disaster, which includes several CDC subject matter experts. This Task Force assembled in January 2007 with the mission of developing recommendations to promote optimal care for the critically ill during a mass disaster. The manuscripts that resulted from this meeting helped advance mass critical care surge capacity and standards of care planning in the U.S. and internationally. However, there is a need for expansion of topics discussed to provide information for a variety of patient populations to include pediatric, nephrology, trauma, and obstetrics groups; lessons learned from the H1N1 influenza pandemic and other recent disasters such as earthquakes, tornados, and hurricanes; disaster planning at the State level; surge capacity and reallocation of scarce resources; and key issues with disaster medicine.
Description: The purpose of this program is to publish in 2014 the manuscripts from a Consensus Statement developed by the Task Force on the Delivery of Mass Critical Care During a Disaster and disseminate the report widely to clinicians, healthcare organizations, and public health and other governmental agencies. The Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response/Division of Strategic National Stockpile/Healthcare Preparedness Activity (OPHPR/DSNS/HPA) supports public health, healthcare, and emergency management working together to safely deliver the right care at the right time and in the right place. OPHPR/DSNS/HPA works through and with national partners to develop and enhance public health and healthcare emergency preparedness.
