Description

This funding opportunity supports one demonstration project aimed at identifying issues, developing leading practices, and demonstrating the potential effectiveness and viability of the Regional Disaster Health Response System (RDHRS) concept. The RDHRS is designed as a tiered system that enhances coordination and incorporates clinical and administrative capabilities at state and regional levels, building upon existing local medical response systems. It is intended to manage clinical care delivery when local healthcare capacity is exceeded by catastrophic events, without altering current patient referral patterns. The project also aims to integrate additional healthcare expertise into preparedness and response structures.
