Our nation is focused on the need for disaster preparedness in an unprecedented fashion due to the threat of terrorism and natural disasters, such as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita that have resulted in devastating consequences. The unfortunate reality of a disaster is that often multiple injuries, fatalities, and displaced victims are involved. This course provides a uniform, coordinated approach to mass casualty management, which is critical to health-care preparedness. A model disaster plan for a community pharmacy is included. Participants will also learn how new technology solutions and the health care claims processing infrastructure will be used to efficiently access patient prescription records and process prescription drugs in a future emergency response. With support from the University of Texas Health Science Center—Houston’s Center for Biosecurity and Public Health Preparedness and the CDC, the NCPA Foundation is pleased to provide you with this comprehensive course curriculum.
