Continual Preparedness System (CPS) for Public Health and Medical
The Challenge: Preparing for the worst amid acute uncertainty.
During normal operating environments, public health and medical providers are functioning at razor thin margins and virtually no excess capacity.
Increase in surge by a significant natural event or terror attack will rapidly overwhelm this overtaxed system, threatening loss or life or substandard care.
Preparing to treat the seriously injured, reassuring the worried well, and dealing with unavoidable fatalities cannot be deferred until the danger is imminent. The time to prepare is now.
But how do you perform the ongoing preparedness planning, training, and exercise activities, meet the evermore strict certification requirements, while at the same time keeping up with your ongoing daily operations?

CEMPlanner™ for Public Health and Medical
The Challenge: Emerging diseases, terrorism, and chemical hazards are all threats to our public health and health care systems. Planning for pandemic outbreaks like H1N1 2009, Avian flu, or SARS is an ever-evolving challenge.
As we have seen in today's world, dangerous health threats develop and travel around the globe in weeks - if not days. To stay ahead of these challenges, planning must be dynamic and must include input from all stakeholders in all geographic locations.
Developing a plan is an intensive and continuous process. A good Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) can take over a year to develop. Emergency management agencies must overcome numerous challenges to plan effectively: Staffing and resource limitations, scheduling stakeholders and achieving their "buy in", availability of good plan writers. Additionally, planning standards are numerous and are imposed by multiple organizations and in multiple documents. For a local emergency manager, just keeping up with the various mandates is a formidable task, even without looking at best practices. As a result, plans often become simple compliance documents, satisfying regulated requirements but often just sit on a bookshelf and fail to become operational or implemented during live incidents.
