Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) entered into a cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to establish public health preparedness and a response plan for bioterrorism. With funds from the CDC and an additional grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the DPH designated Hartford Hospital as one of two Centers of Excellence that will coordinate and manage a statewide system for bioterrorism preparedness. This paper reviews the progress that Hartford Hospital has made in meeting this challenge. Highlighted are the development of a Web application to use for statewide preparedness and response, and the preparation for a smallpox vaccination program at Hartford Hospital. |
