PM 14: Percent of sub-recipients providing safety training to health care facility-level staff providing care to COVID-19 patients or PUIs (disaggregated by topic)

Did your facility or organization provide COVID-19-specific trainings for health care facility-level staff on the following topics utilizing Hospital Preparedness Program Cooperative Agreement COVID-19 Supplemental Funding? (Select all that apply):

  • PPE optimization protocols, extended use, and reuse
  • Environmental cleaning and waste management
  • Transmission-based precautions
  • Hand hygiene
  • Infection control protocols for labs (e.g., specimen collection including nasopharyngeal swabbing for both diagnostic and clinical testing, serology testing for plasma treatment, etc.)
  • PPE donning and doffing procedures (e.g., universal masking etiquette)
  • Safe treatment protocols
  • Behavioral health support
  • Rapid identification and isolation of a patient
  • Other (free response)

Sub-recipientNumber of sub-recipients that increased health care supplies for non-EMS health care workers / total number of sub-recipients
PM 16: Percent of sub-recipients that implemented activities to improve and maintain health care worker readiness for COVID-19 and other special pathogens (disaggregated by activity)

Which of the following activities did your facility or organization undertake using Hospital Preparedness Program Cooperative Agreement COVID-19 Supplemental Funding? (Select all that apply)

  • Sharing, in real time, situational awareness regarding PPE models/types and supply levels with their HCCs and state or jurisdiction public health department
  • Using staff that participated in just-in-time training to ensure state/jurisdiction special pathogen treatment centers can provide surge capacity and are able to accept a COVID-19 patient in cases where other facilities have exceeded capacity
  • Providing health care workers with training, peer review, and consultations on their readiness to ensure adequate preparedness and trained clinical staff knowledgeable in treating patients with COVID-19 in the U.S.
  • Providing training or educational opportunities for health care workers aimed at maintaining continuity of operations
Sub-recipientNumber of sub-recipients that implemented activities to improve and maintain health care readiness for COVID-19 and other special pathogens / total number of sub-recipients



12 Recipients should submit a justification in writing to their Project Officer and Grants Management Specialist on why they or their sub-recipients should be allowed to use funding for testing supplies if there is a need to use funding in this manner.
