UC Davis Health took a very unique approach to Crisis Standards
of Care, perhaps the most difficult topic to plan for in any
setting.
What is a hospital supposed to do when there are not enough
resources to go around in a disaster? How do you have these
conversations? Who should be involved?
The first answer: everyone. Consensus is key, and paramount.
Please join us to learn how UCDH convened a group of physicians,
bioethicists, communications specialists, and disaster planners
to work through this incredibly arduous topic.
In 2006 the American Nurses Association (ANA) embarked on a new
effort to engage the nursing profession in the policy
development process on a timely policy issue impacting their
profession.
The resulting policy document addresses topics relevant to health
professionals who provide care during extreme emergencies and
with scarce resources.
