Report looks at programs to improve health care access to disaster sites
A report released this week by Healthcare Ready looks at health care challenges presented by disruptions in private-sector access to disaster sites, and presents programs and resources for states and jurisdictions seeking to address them. The report was commissioned and funded by the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response. Healthcare Ready (formerly Rx Response) works with the public health and private sector to strengthen health care supply chains and address pressing issues before, during and after disasters.
