| PM 4: Percent of RESPTCs implementing activities to address readiness and preparedness gaps in RESPTCs and other health care facilities (disaggregated by activity) | Which of the following readiness and preparedness activities did your RESPTC implement using
RESPTC COVID-19 Preparedness and Response Activities Administrative Supplement funds? (Select all that apply) - Implement operational guidance and share promising practices for health care worker safety, including developing training opportunities for staff members outside of the immediate COVID-19 team to improve infection control measures, including PPE donning and doffing techniques
- Increase the capacity for your RESPTC to conduct clinical trials for medical countermeasures and research the spread and transmission of COVID-19
- Improve recruitment and retention of special pathogen trained staff with specialties that may be needed in COVID-19 response, including pediatrics, geriatrics, pulmonologists, and intensivists
- Improve the transport of laboratory specimens to testing laboratories
- Further develop plans for the segregation, storage, and processing of biohazardous waste
- Expand travel history and symptom screening processes to points of entry other than/in addition to emergency department triage and registration areas
- With attention to supply chain shortages, maintain appropriate stores and types of personal protective equipment (PPE), in accordance with CDC guidelines
- Provide clinical recommendations, protocols, and standards of care for treating patients, including experimental protocols and crisis standards of care
- Plan for coordinating in a medical surge event including how to screen patients for symptoms, rapidly isolate patients, provide PPE, and interfacility transport, if necessary
- Transition ambulatory surgery centers to inpatient care for higher acuity patients
- Identify alternate care sites (on facility grounds or within close proximity) and additional sites (offsite) for sub-acute care patients to increase capacity
- Develop specific plans for at-risk populations, including homeless, older adults, individuals with chronic conditions, undocumented individuals, children, pregnant women, and individuals with disabilities, focusing on at-risk populations with increased morbidity and mortality from COVID-19
- Other activities to address COVID-19 readiness and preparedness gaps (please briefly describe)
| RESPTC | Number of RESPTCs implementing activities to address readiness and preparedness gaps / Total number of RESPTCs |
