The assessment uses a question-and-answer approach to consider planning gaps, resource shortages, and agency capabilities in many community and healthcare sectors. Sectors for which the assessment gathers data include 911 call centers, emergency medical services, primary care providers, hospital systems, alternate care sites, palliative care/hospice, mortuary services, outpatient clinics, urgent care centers, public health, home healthcare, long-term care, pharmacies, emergency management, local government, and veterans affairs. The assessment was developed in response to feedback from community workshops. It was reviewed by subject matter experts and piloted by communities. This tool was identified through NACCHOs Resource Portfolio Project on the CDC Public Health Preparedness Capabilities. Through this project, NACCHO worked with the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) to identify, research, and validate tools, practices, and products that can assist LHDs to address challenges in meeting select PHEP capabilities.
