Health Care Preparedness Toolkit Released
15 Sep
IPERLC provided support for a preparedness team to be part of the 22nd MidAmerica Regional Public Health Leadership Institute (MARPHLI) for its year-long public health leadership development program. This team was asked to focus their attention on the impact of ACA on Preparedness, as their project topic.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has improved the state of emergency preparedness amongst individuals and communities by providing health care coverage to populations previously uninsured. In an effort to maximize the benefits in terms of disaster preparedness, MARPHLI’s Prairie State Preparedness Team has developed a toolkit to assist emergency planners with the incorporation of ACA and other essential medical information in disaster preparedness. The Health Care Preparedness Toolkit includes a fact sheet, planning guide, training plan, a visual aid, and a pre/post-test. Click here to access the toolkit.
