Crisis
Standards of
Care Workshop
Northwest
Healthcare
Response
Network
It was recognized during the H1N1
pandemic that healthcare systems could be
stressed to a point that healthcare
professionals would find it difficult to adhere
to normal treatment procedures and
conventional standards of care. The Office
of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness
and Response and the Department of
Health and Human Services charged an
Institute of Medicine (IOM) committee with
the task of developing guidance to establish
standards of care that could apply to
disaster situations, both naturally occurring
and man-made.
What are these Crisis Standards of Care?
How can they be implemented? What do
they mean for our patients, institutions and
communities?
There is no cost for this
workshop and lunch will be
provided.
Space is limited, early
registration is recommended.
If you have trouble registering
for this workshop due to

For those behind the scenes—the

months of preparation, detailed

event can help participants learn; a
poorly-planned one can distract from
the conference’s larger goals.
NWCPHP has released a new toolkit,
which provides practical tools to help
event organizers develop, implement,
and evaluate their conferences.
Topics covered range from: defining
conference objectives to developing
an agenda, and designating speakers
and facilitators. You’ll also learn how
to choose a venue, organize staff and
materials, and publicize and evaluate
the event.
