Catastrophic disasters occurring in 2011 in the United States and
worldwide-from the tornado in Joplin, Missouri, to the earthquake
and tsunami in Japan, to the earthquake in New Zealand-have
demonstrated that even prepared communities can be overwhelmed. In
2009, at the height of the influenza A (H1N1) pandemic, the
Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response at the Department
of Health and Human Services, along with the Department of Veterans
Affairs and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,
asked the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to convene a committee of
experts to develop national guidance for use by state and local
public health officials and health-sector agencies and institutions
in establishing and implementing standards of care that should
apply in disaster situations-both naturally occurring and
man-made-under conditions of scarce resources. Building on the work
of phase one (which is described in IOM's 2009 letter report,
Guidance for Establishing Crisis Standards of Care for Use in
Disaster Situations), the committee developed detailed templates
enumerating the functions and tasks of the key stakeholder groups
involved in crisis standards of care (CSC) planning,
implementation, and public engagement-state and local governments,
emergency medical services (EMS), hospitals and acute care
facilities, and out-of-hospital and alternate care systems. Crisis
Standards of Care provides a framework for a systems approach to
the development and implementation of CSC plans, and addresses the
legal issues and the ethical, palliative care, and mental health
issues that agencies and organizations at each level of a disaster
response should address. Please note: this report is not intended
to be a detailed guide to emergency preparedness or disaster
response. What is described in this report is an extrapolation of
existing incident management practices and principles. Crisis
Standards of Care is a seven-volume set: Volume 1 provides an
overview; Volume 2 pertains to state and local governments; Volume
3 pertains to emergency medical services; Volume 4 pertains to
hospitals and acute care facilities; Volume 5 pertains to
out-of-hospital care and alternate care systems; Volume 6 contains
a public engagement toolkit; and Volume 7 contains appendixes with
additional resources. Table of Contents Front Matter Volume
