Healthcare facilities have been urged to do four things to prepare for a pandemic, according to an article on the Yahoo website.
Healthcare facilities should first review pandemic and surge plans.
Then evaluating its needs is the first step within the preparedness process.
Healthcare facilities should also begin looking into temporary staffing options, volunteer healthcare organizations and potentially contacting retired employees for assistance.
Next, checking on supply levels is key. Supplies are usually impacted before a pandemic even starts.
