Partnership aims to improve emergency management systems

The American Hospital Association (AHA) is partnering with the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Preparedness and Response at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to strengthen and reimagine the nation’s emergency management systems. As a first step, the AHA held an open dialogue at the 2022 AHA Rural Health Care Leadership Conference. Information gathered is presented in five take-aways on the AHA website and will be translated into digestible case studies, action plans and compendiums for the field to learn from and apply. The work is being funded by an HHS multimillion-dollar, five-year grant. (AHA News article, 2/15/22)
