Homework: Group Practice Operations Plan
Overview
There has been concern about public health and medical preparedness for disasters because private physicians are not being integrated into disaster preparedness. If frontline medical and healthcare workers are not prepared it could affect the level of morbidity and mortality experienced during a large-scale disaster.
Scenario
While developing your operations plan you realized the practice did not have a strategy for disaster response.
Task
Develop an operations plan that is 1 to 2 pages in length and includes at least two quality academic resources in which you:
o Propose a strategy that medical providers and public health agencies should include in a response plan that combines the efforts of both groups.
o Outline a strategy for the practice that demonstrates how communication with employees and patients will be maintained, how to secure patient and financial records, and ensure resources are available to care for patients before, during, and after a natural disaster or public health emergency.
Format your homework according to the following formatting requirements:
o The answer should be typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), double spaced, with one-inch margins on all sides.
o The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the homework, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
o Also include a reference page. The Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
