[telemedicine] Emergency Preparedness Online

[Medical Informatics News]

The Health and Human Services Department has launched a Web-based application allowing state, regional, and local health care officials to inventory their medical resources and personnel in preparation of a future emergency. The new software is called the Emergency Preparedness Resource Inventory and can be downloaded for free from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's Web site.The software will help health care officials at the state, regional and local levels to catalog their medical resources and available personnel to prepare for an emergency. Emergency responders will then be able to coordinate and quickly locate equipment and medicine, see how much is available and reach out to the individuals responsible for those resources. It could also help officials estimate gaps, whether it’s personnel, facilities, or equipment, for example, in their communities and also help guide investment decisions.ReadPermalink*|*Email this*|*Linking*Blogs*|*Comments
