ASPR TRACIE Disaster Behavioral Health Self Care for Healthcare Workers Modules
From the Background: "The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) Technical Resources, Assistance Center, and Information Exchange (TRACIE) has helped develop resources and participated in ASPR At-Risk Individuals, Behavioral Health & Community Resilience (ABC) interagency/ external partner working groups in every disaster recovery operation for the last four years, to assist with issues related to disaster behavioral health (DBH), provider self-care, suicide prevention, and compassion fatigue. One continuous knowledge gap identified during this time has been the need for information for front-line healthcare and social services workers to use prior to a disaster to recognize and reduce their stress levels and maintain resilience during recovery. This gap was validated via communication with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the National Center for Child Traumatic Stress, and various ASPR TRACIE disaster behavioral health (DBH) subject matter experts (SMEs) in addition to ASPR staff. These modules are designed for healthcare workers in all settings, but primarily hospital-based providers."

Care Provider Facilities Described Challenges Addressing Mental Health Needs of Children in HHS Custody
From the Document: "By law, ORR [Office of Refugee Resettlement], which is within the Department of Health and Human Services, has custody of and must provide care for each unaccompanied child, including addressing their mental health needs. ORR-funded care provider facilities are required to provide counseling to children and arrange for more specialized mental health services, as needed. We conducted our fieldwork during a time when ORR was experiencing an influx of children. Our findings could inform the Unaccompanied Alien Children Program's preparation for future surges."

Healthcare Facilities and Power Outages: Guidance for State, Local, Tribal, Territorial, and Private Sector Partners
From the Introduction: "This document provides guidance and resources on improving healthcare facility resilience to power outages. Resilience is the backbone of emergency management. The Nation's ability to weather storms and disasters without experiencing loss significantly reduces our risk. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) developed this guide in collaboration with, and support from, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) and other partners to meet, in part, the requirements of Section 1208 of the Disaster Recovery Reform Act. This document informs state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, first responders, utility companies, and healthcare facilities on: [1] Healthcare facility preparedness standards and challenges; [2] Ways to integrate emergency preparedness efforts throughout the whole community; and [3] Methods for prioritizing assistance to hospitals, nursing homes, and other long-term care facilities during power outages."

ASPR TRACIE Emergency Preparedness Information Modules for Nurses in Acute Care Settings
From the Document: "The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) Technical Resources, Assistance Center, and Information Exchange (TRACIE) partnered with Spectrum Health to evaluate a series of healthcare emergency preparedness information modules for nurses (EPIMN) in acute care settings. To complement this effort, ASPR TRACIE also engaged a senior health economist to construct a framework to assess the impact and outcomes associated with implementing training programs like EPIMN. Research has shown that nurses generally lack a foundation of emergency preparedness and response knowledge. Spectrum Health surveyed its nurses and found a similar knowledge gap within its health system. To address this need, Spectrum Health developed information modules for its acute care nursing staff. ASPR TRACIE engaged its Subject Matter Expert (SME) Cadre to review the information modules, adapted the modules for application to acute care settings generally, and disseminated EPIMN for potential use by healthcare facilities nationwide. A case study describing the roll-out of EPIMN by Spectrum Health and the effects of implementing the training program among its acute care nurses is included as Appendix A. Complementing the efforts to develop and make EPIMN available, ASPR TRACIE also supported a senior health economist in developing a framework that healthcare organizations may use to conduct an economic analysis of the costs of providing initial and refresher preparedness training to their personnel and the associated gains to measure the return on investment (ROI) of such training. The senior health economist used Spectrum Health and its implementation of EPIMN as a case study for application of this framework. A summary description of the development of the framework is included later in this document and the full report is included as Appendix B."

Southwest Key Programs Did Not Always Comply with Health and Safety Requirements for the Unaccompanied Alien Children Program
From the Document: "The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), manages the Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Program. We initiated a series of reviews of UAC Program grantees because, beginning in fiscal year (FY) 2012, there were significant increases in both the number of children served by the UAC Program and program funding, as well as multiple changes to ORR policies beginning in FY 2014. We selected Southwest Key Programs (Southwest Key), a UAC Program grantee, for review because it is one of the largest providers of services to UAC in the United States. We conducted this audit in conjunction with our review of Southwest Key's financial management of Federal funds received to operate the UAC Program (A-06-17-07004). Our objective was to determine whether Southwest Key met applicable safety standards for the care and release of children in its custody."

Mass Casualty Trauma Triage: Paradigms and Pitfalls
From the Intended Scope and Action: "The focus of this paper is specifically designed to educate emergency planners on the key distinctions of no-notice, dynamic incident scenes with exceedingly large numbers of patients. This will require review of current plans and making necessary modifications to those plans and corresponding training and exercises to ensure preparedness for these types of events. Each community has a unique set of resources and needs and may therefore require different solutions than other jurisdictions. It is important to note that this is a discussion document, and not a consensus document. Therefore, the authors have tried to represent the diversity of opinions where they were significant. This document is also focused on triage and does not account for the broad range of supporting disaster planning required for successful response."

Medical Surge and the Role of Accountable Care Organizations
From the Overview: "Accountable care organizations (ACOs) are groups of healthcare providers and care settings that come together to deliver high-quality care to an assigned patient population. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) supports the development of ACOs through the Medicare Shared Savings Program and Innovation Center Models (e.g., the Next Generation ACO Model). Medicaid and commercial insurers have also established various ACO models for their beneficiary populations. ACOs provide incentives for groups of healthcare entities to coordinate care for their assigned patients with the goal of efficiently providing high quality care as measured by reduced inefficiencies and overall healthcare delivery costs. As a relatively new healthcare delivery and payment model, little is known about the role of Medicare ACOs and their participants in the medical surge response to emergencies and disasters. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) Technical Resources, Assistance Center, and Information Exchange (TRACIE) conducted five telephone interviews with ACO leaders with beneficiaries in eight states to learn about their perceptions regarding the role of Medicare ACOs in supporting the health and medical response to disasters or emergencies. The interviews sought to assess Medicare ACOs and their participants': (1) role in emergency preparedness and response; (2) capacities and capabilities; (3) factors that challenge involvement; (4) factors that may facilitate engagement; and (5) lessons learned from real-life responses."

Medical Surge and the Role of Home Health and Hospice Agencies
From the Overview: "Millions of patients across the country receive care through Medicare-certified home health agencies and hospices each year. Mostly comprised of older adults who frequently have multiple medical conditions and often have lower household incomes, home health and hospice patients are among the most vulnerable populations in the U.S. Unlike other recipients of healthcare services, the care is delivered to the home health or hospice patient; the patient does not travel to receive care. Emergency planning for home health and hospice agencies must account for a continually changing patient population and care setting; unique situations encountered in each care setting; the routes staff must travel to safely and efficiently reach their patients; and the business continuity of their administrative offices. [...] This study does not provide conclusive statements on emergency management that are generalizable to all Medicare-certified home health and hospice agencies. Rather, the project team used this exploratory study to learn more about the role of home health and hospice agencies in emergency response and to inform future efforts from ASPR [Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response] TRACIE [Technical Resources, Assistance Center and Information Exchange]. These findings and recommendations are a first step toward greater emergency management awareness and engagement, particularly among home health and hospice agencies and their community partners, including hospitals, public health, emergency management, emergency medical services, and other healthcare providers and settings."

Opioids: Facts Parents Need to Know
From A Letter to Parents: "You have probably heard a lot about the opioid crisis in the news lately. But what are opioids, and what do they have to do with you as the parent of a teenager? If your child has had a sports injury, dental work, or surgery, it is possible that he or she was prescribed a pain reliever that contained an opioid. Opioids can be very effective at reducing severe pain in the short term, such as after surgery, but they can be very addictive, especially if they are misused. Children and adolescents are at greater risk than adults of becoming addicted when exposed to drugs. Particularly when used in treating children or adolescents, opioids should only be taken to manage severe pain, when no other pain medicine works, and for the shortest time necessary--and most importantly, only while under the careful watch of a trained health care provider."

Cost Analysis of Healthcare Sector Data Breaches Health Sector Cybersecurity Coordination Center (HC3)
From the Executive Summary: "Data breaches can have a significant impact on both the healthcare organization attacked and the individual victims. Healthcare and Public Health Sector (HPH) sector entities face the cost of recovery, lawsuits and the public relations ramifications including loss of customers/patients. Individuals can suffer financial penalties of various sorts as well as the embarrassment of having personal information leaked. As a result, the Federal government has passed several pieces of legislation in order to help protect against and curb data breaches, including regulations and penalties for healthcare organizations that are non-compliant. Costs are either direct or indirect, and mitigation efforts can be viewed in terms of prevention (the preferred method) and post-breach cost reduction. HPH Sector entities are encouraged to factor the cost of breaches into their overall approach towards risk management for both legal and operational efficiency reasons. According to a Ponemon Institute study, the average cost of a breach for a healthcare organization is approximately $8 million, and trending upwards, while another study concluded that a total breach cost can exceed $400 per patient record exposed, elevating the importance of establishing strong risk management practices."
