How does the final rule impact more than just hospitals? The IAEM-USA Healthcare Caucus has partnered with ASPR to conduct a two-part webinar series to discuss the new CMS Preparedness Final Rule. The first webinar on Mar. 23 focused on understanding requirements of the CMS Emergency Preparedness Final Rule and share resources available via ASPR TRACIE. The second webinar, which will focus on CMS interpretive guidance as it relates to the CMS Emergency Preparedness Final Rule, will be scheduled after release of the CMS interpretive guidance anticipated in May 2017.
Recording: The webinar recording is available for IAEM members here. About the Webinar: For a number of years, the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) has been funding local jurisdictions to form and maintain healthcare coalitions to plan for, respond to, and recover from disasters. Healthcare coalitions are comprised of healthcare providers across the spectrum – hospitals, public health, long-term care and primary care providers, EMS, and community mental health that come together to develop regional surge plans. The IAEM-USA Healthcare Caucus welcomed representatives from two healthcare coalitions – Sarah Seiler of the Metrolina Healthcare Preparedness Coalition in North Carolina and Dave Freeman of the Central Florida Disaster Medical Coalition – to see how these jurisdictions direct their work, fund, and effectively plan for regional surge.
