    Disaster Preparedness:Its All About Me!

    Three deadly misconceptions:

    1. It will not happen here!

    2. It will not happen to me!

    The Current HospitalEnvironment

    Key component of consequence management is timely medicalcare for victims of mass casualty incidents

    Incorrect assumptions made about existing medicalcapabilities to treat mass casualties

    Hospital surge capacity has never been more restricted

    Medical community struggling just to

    maintain everyday capacity

    Majority of preparedness issues arefinancially (revenue vs cost) based

    Without prompt action, the nation carries the risk thatvictims of a mass-casualty disaster might end up in ambulancesto nowhere."

    Ambulances to Nowhere

    Funding shortfalls

    Decline in government support for public and privatehospitals

    Increasing number of expensive, unfunded, or under-fundedregulatory mandates

    Continued expectation that hospitals will maintain high

    levels of charity medical care National shortage of nurses for acute

    care hospitals, resulting in need for specialcompensation packages to attract personnel

    Results -- closure, downsizing, consolidation,reconfiguration, and partnering

    Abolition or downsizing of specialty services crucial to

    disaster preparedness! Source: Barbera, Macintyre, and DeAtley , Mar 2002

    Ambulances to Nowhere

    Delivery of acute medical care evolved beyond ordinary businessrelationship to "trust" with patients

    Trust has extended to current threat environment

    Move from individual patient to community as a whole

    Financial support to hospitals by community create expectationhospitals will address community's health/medical needs, includingdisaster preparedness

    Reasonable cost for hospital preparedness for mass casualtieswas assumed to be necessary cost of doing business

    Financing costs

    Old Medicare and fee for service

    New Managed care payment system (capitation)

    Bottom line: Disconnect between expectations and funding!

    Troubled Medical System

    Growing concern over projected shortage of healthcareproviders in coming years

    Other factors: aging population, increased demand, andincreased costs

    Troubled specialties -- orthopedics, radiology, dermatology,cardiology, ophthalmology and anesthesiology

    Bleak future forecast

    Shortage of 200,000 doctors,

    157,000 pharmacists

    20% shortfall in nursing

    A Strained System

    Hospital capacity continues to be main limiting factor in disastermedical response

    Critical care services and intensive care units most affected Recent examples

    Only 25 ICU beds usable for 27 patients in Madrid bombing

    Only 12 ICU beds available for 20 patients in Bali bombing

    2001 Houston floods reduced ICU capacity by 75%

    More challenges

    Toxic chemical scenario: 1200 bed hospital could handle only two

    patients at one time Poor staffing levels for critical care areas

    Popular belief health care organizations/public health agenciesstructured to handle surge

    Wrong! Terrorist attack could compromise current system

    We must identify, plan, and prepare to make adjustments in currenthealth and medical care standards!

    DHS and several key agencies recently met to discuss U.S. abilityto respond to attack

    Purpose of meeting:

    Examine current standards

    Recommend specific actions for Federal,State, regional, community, and health systems planners

    55/421

    The Texas A&M University System Health Science Center

    Office of Homeland Security

    Critical questions discussed

    What knowledge must planners possess to develop effective

    health and medical care response plans to mass casualty event? What key principles guide planning for health/medical response

    to mass casualty event?

    What issues must be considered/addressedin planning for health and medical care inmass casualty event?

    What information, tools, models, and other

    resources are available to address plannersneeds?

    56/421

    The Texas A&M University System Health Science Center

    Office of Homeland Security

    Key findings

    Goal of mass casualty response -- maximize number of lives

    saved Must change process to allocate scarce resources

    Many health systems do not provide adequate planning andguidance to direct change in current standards

    Allocating health and medical resources in a mass casualty eventshould be fair and equitable

    Protocols for triage based size and nature of event and speed of

    development Must have adequate number of staff, equipment, and

    pharmaceuticals on hand for any event

    Proposed actions

    Develop overarching/specific guidance for distributing scarce

    health and medical care resources during mass casualty event Develop and implement method to address nonmedical (i.e.,

    finance, communication,etc.) issues during event

    Develop strategy for risk communication for public

    Develop practical tools for medical personnel

    Develop strategies for leadership/coordination on-site

    Continue/expand response personnel training

    Develop Community-Based Planning Guide for Mass CasualtyCare for planners

    Funding shortfalls

    Decline in government support for public and privatehospitals

    Increasing number of expensive, unfunded, or under-fundedregulatory mandates

    Continued expectation that hospitals will maintain highlevels of charity medical care

    National shortage of nurses for acutecare hospitals, resulting in need for specialcompensation packages to attract personnel

    Results -- closure, downsizing, consolidation,reconfiguration, and partnering

    Delivery of acute medical care evolved beyond ordinary businessrelationship to "trust" with patients

    Trust has extended to current threat environment

    Move from individual patient to community as a whole

    Financial support to hospitals by community create expectationhospitals will address community's health/medical needs, includingdisaster preparedness

    Reasonable cost for hospital preparedness for mass casualtieswas assumed to be necessary cost of doing business

    Financing costs

    Old Medicare and fee for service New Managed care payment system (capitation)

    Bottom line: Disconnect between expectations and funding!

    Who is to blame for the inadequate response?

    The primary responsibility for dealing withemergencies does not belong to the federal

    government. It belongs to local and state officialswho are charged by law with the management ofthe crucial first response to a disaster.
