1 Appendix C: Compendium of Emergency Management Best Practices, Lessons Learned, and Guidance for FQHCs The materials provided in the subject compendium will assist the Michigan Primary Care Association and constituent Michigan-based FQHCs with overall emergency management program activities. Materials were selected based on the framework of the gap analysis performed under this project and availability of relevant materials. Materials included in this compendium address individual best practices and lessons learned, as well as guidance tools (which in turn are based on best practices and lessons learned, as well as case studies and other forms of research). Sources of the materials provided in the compendium include DHHS Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, DHHS-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, DHHS-Office of the Assistance Secretary for Preparedness and Response, DHS Lessons Learned Information Sharing, National Association of Community Health Centers, and others.

7 A Prospective Cohort Study of the Effectiveness of Employer-Sponsored Crisis Interventions after a Major Disaster 2005 International Journal of Emergency Mental Health Post disaster crisis interventions have been viewed by many as the appropriate and immediate approach to enhance psychological well-being among persons affected by largescale traumatic events. Yet, studies and systematic reviews have challenged the effectiveness of these efforts. This article provides the first rigorous scientific evidence to suggest that post-disaster crisis interventions in the workplace significantly reduced mental health disorders and symptoms up to 2 years after the initial interventions. Until now, studies have neither focused on the effectiveness and safety of brief mental health services...

23 Emergencies Happen, An In-Depth Guide to Emergency Management for Health Centers Emergency Management Programs for Healthcare Facilities: Exercise Program January 2007 National Association of Community Health Centers 4/19/2004 Lessons Learned Information Sharing The intent of this health center resource guide is to provide health centers with detailed information and resources including various approached to assist health centers in developing and implementing an Emergency Management component to their established risk management program. This guide assumes an allhazards approach for developing an emergency management plan (EMP) based on the phases of emergency management and disaster recovery, including planning, mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. This resource guide is a tool for all health centers whether just starting the process or developing a comprehensive EMP or for use in updating existing plans. This Best Practice provides an overview of an exercise program for a healthcare facility. A focused exercise program will increase organizational learning, and improve preparedness by building on a progression of knowledge and experience. The program should include training, drills, and exercises (such as tabletop, functional, and full-scale exercises). Best Practices, Lessons Learned, and Guidance for FQHC s Page 18 of 39 3/26/2012

29 Health Care Organization Mutual Aid MOU 5/30/2007 (Consortium of hospitals and regional biodefense networks) Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation, Volume I February 2007 US Department of Homeland Security The complexity of disaster response coupled with the finite capabilities of hospitals, health systems, and communities create a need for external support. However, due to a variety of challenges (e.g., artificial planning borders, credentialing issues, liability issues, etc.) the ability for a healthcare organizations affected by a disaster to get external support is hindered. This Memorandum of Understanding seeks to overcome some of the challenges that hinder healthcare organizations from receiving external support during disasters. To date, a variety of healthcare organizations from the States of Michigan and Ohio have joined to participate in the agreement. Ingham Regional Medical Center (Lansing, Michigan) maintains a centralized repository of signed agreements.

They dispensed medications, gave counseling, and addressed chronic health needs that unchecked would have led to even greater sickness and potential death. The lessons of the Gulf Coast make clear that health centers, and the preventive care in which they specialize, are critical to disaster response. In addition, the opportunity to rebuild an entire public health infrastructure is raising important questions about the role of health centers a role that recent experience shows should be both greater and more central.
