As a series of devastating wildfires in California this month caused at least 29 deaths, many injuries and significant damage to homes and property, hospital and health system teams were there to care for their patients and communities, even as many caregivers themselves faced significant personal hardship.</p><p>Each and every day across the country, our nation’s hospitals and health systems are always there, ready to care. They play a crucial role in disaster and emergency preparedness and response.</p><p>Hospitals and health systems serve as vital hubs for medical care, community support and resilience in the face of crises. They are often the first line of defense in providing immediate medical attention, coordinating with other emergency services, and ensuring the continuity of essential health care services.</p><p>A recent <a href="https://strengthenhealthcare.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Hospital-Provision-of-24-hour-Care-and-Specialized-Services-Final.pdf" target="_blank" title="Coalition to Strengthen America's Health Care">report</a> commissioned by the <a href="https://strengthenhealthcare.org" target="_blank" title="Coalition to Strengthen America's Healthcare Website">Coalition to Strengthen America’s Healthcare</a>, of which the AHA is a founding member, demonstrated that hospitals and health systems provide access to around-the-clock emergency and specialty care that other providers typically cannot offer, making them indispensable, crucial access points for care.</p><p>Among other findings, the analysis by KNG Health Consulting, an independent health economics and policy consulting firm, showed that hospitals are uniquely equipped to treat complex conditions that cannot be treated elsewhere and are crucial access points for underserved and rural patients — standing by to provide care 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.</p><p><strong>Resources on Emergency Preparedness, Response and Recovery. </strong>The AHA has developed and shared an online hub of resources designed to enhance our nation’s public health preparedness, response and recovery efforts and support communities. These resources were developed as part of <a href="/aha-clear" target="_blank">Convening Leaders for Emergency and Response</a> (CLEAR), a partnership featuring hospitals, fire/emergency medical services leaders, and other health groups to strengthen the nation’s emergency management systems.</p><p>The resources include <a href="/aha-clear" target="_blank" title="Clear Resources">videos</a> featuring hospital and health system leaders discussing their firsthand experiences navigating public health emergencies; <a href="/aha-clear/tipsheets" target="_blank" title="Clear Tip Sheets">tip sheets</a> with strategies and real-world examples for hospitals and health systems to effectively prepare for and respond to a variety of public health emergency scenarios; and a <a href="/aha-clear/field-guide-for-emergency-preparedness" target="_blank" title="Emergency Preparedness Field Guide">field guide</a> with actionable strategies to bolster our emergency management efforts.</p><p>In addition, there are many great examples on <a href="/tellingthehospitalstory" target="_blank" title="Telling the Hospital Story web site">AHA’s Telling the Hospital Story</a> web pages that demonstrate the many ways hospitals and health systems restore health to individuals and entire communities, as well as advance the frontiers of our medical knowledge.</p><p>When disasters, emergencies or other unforeseen events knock people down, hospitals and health systems will be there — as they always have been —  providing healing and hope to help people get back up again.</p><p>That's why it's so important to make sure hospitals and health systems have the resources they need to maintain their heroic care for patients and communities. As budget battles heat up on Capitol Hill, we need to keep reminding federal lawmakers about the value hospitals provide to the communities they represent and urge lawmakers to reject proposals that would reduce patients’ access to care.</p><p>Our field is at its strongest when we speak with one voice, creating an echo chamber that tells the story of the essential role hospitals and health systems play in every community. Throughout the year, let’s keep that unified message as we continue our efforts to advance health in America.</p> Fri, 31 Jan 2025 10:03:27 -0600 Emergency Readiness /lettercomment/2025-01-21-update-product-allocations-us-iv-products-hurricane-impact-baxters-north-cove-nc-facility <p>Dear Valued Customer:<br>In follow-up to Baxter’s communication on December 13, 2024 regarding increases in allocations for several U.S. IV products, we are pleased to inform you that allocations on two product codes listed in Table 2 are increasing to 100% effective January 21, 2025.

This recognition highlights the hospital's excellence in stroke care, emphasizing its ability to provide timely and effective treatment for stroke patients in Stephens County and surrounding areas. The hospital underwent a rigorous process to achieve this designation, demonstrating adherence to specific standards and showcasing timely treatment, improvement efforts, and robust processes and policies.</p><p>The hospital stresses the importance of community education in recognizing stroke symptoms using the BEFAST acronym: Balance, Eyes, Face, Arm, Speech, and Time. Quick recognition and response are crucial, as timely treatment within 3 ½ to 4 hours of onset can significantly improve patient outcomes. The hospital's ability to provide such care locally may eliminate the need for patients to travel to other facilities, ensuring high-quality stroke care close to home.</p><p><a class="btn btn-primary" href="https://nowhabersham.com/stephens-county-hospital-earns-stroke-care-recognition/">LEARN MORE</a></p></div><div class="col-md-3"><div><h4>Resources on the Role of Hospitals</h4><ul><li><a href="/topics/innovation">Innovation, Research and Quality Improvement</a></li><li><a href="/roleofhospitals">All Case Studies</a></li></ul></div></div></div></div> Mon, 09 Dec 2024 15:11:24 -0600 Emergency Readiness /news/headline/2024-12-05-blog-5-steps-building-emergency-readiness-meet-needs-children <p>In this AHA <a href="/news/blog/2024-12-05-building-emergency-readiness-meet-needs-children" title="Syeda blog meeting kids needs">blog</a> Aisha Syeda, senior program manager for AHA’s Strategic Initiatives, summarizes five action steps hospitals can take to establish pediatric disaster readiness, as well as day-to-day readiness.

These institutions are recognized as Pediatric Disaster Care Centers of Excellence, an initiative funded by the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response to design and share evidence-based practices and protocols. </p> Thu, 05 Dec 2024 13:58:03 -0600 Emergency Readiness /news/blog/2024-12-05-building-emergency-readiness-meet-needs-children <p>In 2024, the U.S. suffered<a href="https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/billions"> 24 weather and climate disasters</a>. In October alone, two major hurricanes devastated communities in North Carolina and Florida, leaving residents struggling with scarce resources. In these challenging times, hospitals and health care systems are safe havens, providing communities essential health care services, coordinating with emergency response teams, and supporting those affected. Hospitals and health care systems must be prepared to handle the unexpected and ready to meet the health care needs of everyone – young and old – in the community.</p><p>Children often receive care in general acute care hospitals rather than at dedicated pediatric facilities. This means every hospital – not just specialized pediatric centers – needs to be equipped and prepared to manage and treat pediatric emergencies. In 2019, the Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response funded the <a href="https://www.pediatricdisaster.org/">Pediatric Disaster Care Centers of Excellence</a>, an initiative to design and share evidence-based practices and protocols emergency departments can implement to address the needs of children day to day and in disasters.</p><p>University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital and Corewell Health Children’s are among the hospitals on this journey. In a recent AHA <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXN8PzkW3Zg">webinar</a>, they shared five action steps hospitals can take to establish pediatric disaster readiness, as well as day-to-day readiness.</p><ol><li><strong>Build awareness and conduct asset mapping.</strong> Hospitals recognize that their EDs are required by law to screen, and either stabilize or transfer patients, both adult and pediatric, to a higher level of care. Use the <a href="https://emscimprovement.center/domains/pediatric-readiness-project/readiness-toolkit/readiness-ED-checklist/">ED Checklist</a> to assess if your hospital’s ED has the critical components to serve pediatric-specific health care needs. Take the <a href="https://pedsready.org/">National Pediatric Readiness Project assessment</a> and receive a pediatric readiness score for your ED and a gap report to understand where to make improvements in pediatric readiness.</li><li><strong>Review your current disaster preparedness plan. </strong>Children’s unique vulnerabilities are often magnified during disasters. Use the <a href="https://emscimprovement.center/domains/preparedness/disaster-plan-prepare/disaster-checklist/">Essential Pediatric Considerations for Every Hospital’s Disaster Policies checklist</a> to examine if your current disaster preparedness plan contains essential tools, resources, policies, partnerships and workforce to address the diverse needs of children that arise in disasters.</li><li><strong>Connect and coordinate with your state and region.</strong> Develop a clear picture of existing resources locally, in the state and across the region, and work to coordinate and streamline response and recovery efforts for pediatric readiness. Partner with nearby states to network, learn and build a collective repository of resources and workforce. These partnerships are crucial for potentially establishing transfer agreements amongst hospitals for high-risk or trauma patients.</li><li><strong>Build capacity and competencies.</strong> Enhance your hospital’s capabilities and capacity by expanding educational competencies and trainings focused on responding to surges and increased patient volumes. Hospitals can offer <a href="https://emscimprovement.center/domains/pecc/">Pediatric Emergency Care Coordinator</a> training to empower pediatric care coordinators and emergency medical services to be properly equipped to manage pediatric emergencies. <a href="https://emscimprovement.center/domains/pediatric-readiness-project/readiness-toolkit/readiness-toolkit-checklist/">Use the National Pediatric Readiness Project toolkit</a> to find recommendations and tools hospitals can use to address gaps in their pediatric disaster care, along with services hospitals can implement to build operational readiness to manage pediatric needs daily. Disaster situations can be distressing, and hospitals also should be prepared with trained mental health professionals who understand pediatric trauma.</li><li><strong>Engage with the community for practical solutions.</strong> Work with community stakeholders and families to hear their first-hand experiences to design support that will meet their children’s health care needs.</li></ol><p>Hospitals and their health care professionals understand that children are not little adults. These action steps serve as a guide to building pediatric readiness in emergency situations. When effectively implemented, they can help ensure that hospitals and emergency responders are even better prepared to address the unique needs of children. America’s hospitals and health systems are committed to continually improving the care we provide for our communities, and that includes caring for kids.</p><p><em>Aisha Syeda, MPH, serves as senior program manager for AHA’s Strategic Initiatives.</em></p> Thu, 05 Dec 2024 11:31:41 -0600 Emergency Readiness /community-health-environment/stories <div class="raw-html-embed"> </div><div> /* Banner_Title_Overlay_Bar */ .Banner_Title_Overlay_Bar { position: relative;
