This document addresses children effected by trauma to improve disaster prevention, capabilities. Treating children impacted by trauma, infectious diseases, and other hazards during a public health emergency or disaster can challenge health care facilities that do not specialize in pediatric care and stress the health care system as a whole. This White Paper describes efforts from the Information Integration Workgroup to: Crosswalk systems between Ohio and Michigan related to bed availability and resource allocation; Assess the interoperability of Electronic Health Record and Health Information Exchange Systems; Identify patient tracking systems and their potential integration into EMRs, both interstate between and intrastate within Ohio and Michigan; Develop recommendations for improved coordination of bed availability, resource allocation, patient tracking, and health information portability.
