Essential Functions and Considerations for Hospital Recovery
The Harvard School of Public Health developed "Essential Functions and Considerations for Hospital Recovery" to aid hospitals in enhancing their recovery capabilities following emergencies, aligning with federal guidance. It incorporates insights from hospitals that have experienced recovery firsthand and reviews existing literature. The document doesn't replace federal guidance but aims to help hospitals integrate recovery plans into their emergency operations. It reflects discussions from regional workshops in Massachusetts and includes contributions from federal partners like FEMA. The guide references various healthcare emergency preparedness and emergency management sources to support recovery planning effectively.
