Fortify Emergency Response Policies With Federal Resources

The COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) might be over, but that doesn’t mean your practice should put emergency preparedness on the backburner.

As the nation labored through the pandemic, federal agencies added a plethora of online tools for providers and other stakeholders to bolster emergency preparedness planning. Some highlights include:

  • Civil rights resources during a disaster
  • Language tools and outreach
  • Medical reserve corp funding and assistance
  • Templates to help operate offline and ensure patient privacy
