2.0 Readiness and Preparedness Measures

Operational Intent: This performance measure examines what activities have been implemented to achieve the following outcome:

Continue to address preparedness and readiness gaps for RESPTCs and other health care facilities

Required Program Performance Measure	Data Point(s)	Data Entity	Calculation
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 FY20 Administrative Supplement funds? (Select all that apply) Increase the capacity for all regional treatment centers to conduct clinical trials for medical countermeasures and research the spread and transmission of special pathogens Improve the transport of laboratory specimens to testing laboratories Develop training opportunities for staff members outside of the immediate special pathogens team to improve infection control measures, including PPE donning and doffing techniques Further develop plans for the segregation, storage, and processing of biohazardous waste Improve recruitment and retention of special pathogen trained staff with specialties that may be needed in special pathogen response, including pediatrics, geriatrics, pulmonologists, and intensivists Develop specific plans for at-risk populations, including homeless, older adults, individuals with chronic conditions, undocumented individuals, children, pregnant women, and individuals with disabilities, noting that different pathogens will have different at-risk populations Expand travel history and symptom screening processes to points of entry other than/in addition to emergency department triage and registration areas Other activities to address special pathogen readiness and preparedness gaps (free response)	Recipient	Recipient-level direct cost = (amount of funding in whole dollars retained by the recipient for activities and funding management / total recipient funding) x 100%
PM 5: Percent of RESPTCs implementing specific plans for at-risk populations (disaggregated by population group)	Did your RESPTC implement your specific plans for at-risk populations, including homeless, older adults, individuals with chronic conditions, undocumented individuals, children, pregnant women, and individuals with disabilities, using RESPTC FY20 Administrative Supplement funds? Yes No If responding ‘Yes’ to the above question, please indicate the at-risk populations for which your RESPTC implemented specific plans.
