Agenda
OVERWHELMED: DEVELOPING CRISIS STANDARDS OF
CARE FOR CATASTROPHIC EMERGENCIES
When a nation or region prepares for public health emergencies such
as a pandemic influenza, an earthquake, or any disaster scenario in which
the health system may be stressed to its limits, it is important to describe
how standards of care would change due to shortage of critical resources.
“Crisis standards of care” is defined as a substantial change in usual
health care operations and the level of care it is possible to deliver, which
is made necessary by a pervasive (e.g., pandemic influenza) or
catastrophic (e.g., earthquake, hurricane) disaster. To ensure that the
utmost care possible is provided to patients in a catastrophic event,
nations/regions need a robust system to guide the public, health care
professionals and institutions, and governmental entities at all levels.
Building off a report of the U.S. Institute of Medicine, Guidance for
Establishing Crisis Standards of Care for Use in Disaster Situations, this
session focus on opportunities and challenges to integrate crisis standards
of care principles into international disaster response plans.
Learning Objectives:
Discuss the challenges of providing fair and equitable care in
mass casualty incidents
Discuss a potential framework for the equitable delivery of care in
situations of scarce resources and strategies for operationalizing
crisis standards of care in austere environments
