Altered Standards of Care Guidance with an Emphasis on Pandemic Influenza: Draft Document for Review and Comment
"This document shall serve as a guide for hospital policymakers. All information contained herein is subject to change and applies only to patients 2 months of age and older. Though adherence to these procedures and recommendations is not required by law, the adoption of consistent procedures and recommendations statewide would represent best practices during times of disaster and would assist in gaining public confidence. It is suggested that each hospital evaluate and apply this document in consideration of its unique needs including staffing, bed capacity, and community resources available to the hospital. Individual hospitals may then develop facility‐specific policies and procedures. Altered standards of care guidelines should be activated in the event of pandemic influenza or other public health emergencies declared by the Governor of the state of Indiana. In the event of a declaration of disaster, the hospital should initiate previously developed procedures to authorize the emergency privileging and credentialing of health care practitioners and providers. Health care practitioners and providers may act outside their privileges as granted by the hospital based on prior education, training, or experience."

Implementing Isolation and Quarantine: A Guidance Document Provided by the Office of Legal Affairs - Version 2.0
From the Preface: "Isolation and quarantine are public health strategies used to contain the spread of infectious diseases. Isolation is a standard public health practice applied to persons who have a communicable disease. Quarantine is a contact management strategy applied to persons who have been exposed to a disease and consists of active monitoring in addition to activity restrictions. Both techniques may be voluntary or mandatory. Isolation and quarantine require the separation of infected and potentially infected persons, respectively, from the public. This separation is achieved by confinement of the infected and/or potentially infection person(s) to treatment facilities, residences, or other locations, depending on the nature of the implicated disease and the available facilities. Thus, both isolation and quarantine measures may severely curtail the freedom of persons to whom they are applied, particularly in the cases of disease characterized by prolonged incubation periods. […] The epidemiologic and clinical data available to the public health authority drive the decision determining whether to issuance of isolation or quarantine orders is an appropriate control measure. Public health staff, along with legal counsel, must coordinate in advance to ensure an efficient response. These materials contain a summary of the legal authorities allowing a public health authority to obtain and issue isolation and quarantine orders. Also included are sample petitions and model orders to be completed as factually and clinically appropriate."

Indiana State Department of Health Pandemic Influenza Operations Plan [2009]

[…] This document forms the core of the Indiana State Department of Health Pandemic Influenza Plan. It is intended to provide a brief outline of the plan so that a reader can quickly obtain an overview. Details will be provided in annexes to this plan so that readers may quickly move to the parts of the plan that are of immediate concern. This provides a format in which each individual/unit/group/agency can work with an annex of manageable size while having access to the entire plan when needed."
