The Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) was established in 1999 at
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to
provide an inventory of medications and medical supplies
available to send to a location in the event of a large
infectious disease outbreak or other public health emergency,
including a bioterrorism attack. In light of new information
on bioterrorism, particularly Anthrax, we now know that communities
of all sizes must work the goal of providing prophylaxis for the total
population in 48 hours (for Anthrax). State and local planners must find
new ways to increase the number of patients seen in shorter periods of
time and yet we must adhere to certain standards of medical care.
Streamlining POD operations is the key to exceeding predetermined patient
per hour goals. A question and answer session will enable participants
nationwide to pose questions to panelists via a toll free telephone, fax, or TTY lines.

Goal
To introduce participants to methods of setting up
and operating Points of Dispensing (PODs)
to achieve maximum effectiveness.
|
Objectives
Upon successful completion of the program, participants will be able to:
- List the goals of a mass antibiotic prophylaxis POD.
- Know methods to achieve POD effectiveness and efficiency.
- Identify three ways to increase Patients per Hour (PPH).
- Define "Balancing the Line."
- Determine a method for evaluating progress.

Target Audience
This broadcast is designed for the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) local and state planners.
