Survey
Purpose
|
To
gather information from health care coalitions (HCCs) about the
state of health care system preparedness and response today versus
before 2012 in order to illustrate the impact HPP has had on
health care system preparedness. In 2012, the Hospital
Preparedness Program (HPP) shifted to a coordinated health care
coalition approach. This survey will also collect data on HCC’s
technical assistance (TA) needs. The survey will be sent to the
main point of contact from each of HPP’s 380+ HCCs. No more
than one survey will be completed per HCC.
|
Guiding
Question
|
As
a result of HPP, how is health care system preparedness different
today than it was in 2012 and before?
