ASPR TRACIE August 2023

This issue of The Express highlights the following new and updated resources:
·    Health Care Facility Onboarding Checklist
·    Mass Casualty Hospital Capacity Expansion Toolkit Demonstration (Recording)
·    Impacts of Planned and Unplanned Power Disruptions on California’s Public Health and Medical Systems (Key Takeaways)
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasters recently increased the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season prediction to “above normal;” please access our Hurricane Resources Page for related resources. Our Natural Disasters Topic Collection features fire/wildfire-specific sections on lessons learned and plans, tools, and templates that can help our audiences prepare and respond to similar situations. As always, we encourage you to reach out to ASPR TRACIE if you need technical assistance.
Health Care Facility Onboarding Checklist
During a pandemic or other emergency, health care facilities face significant challenges to quickly onboard additional health care providers when hospital admissions and intensive care units’ occupancy rapidly increase. The recently updated Health Care Facility Onboarding Checklist can help facilities ensure new employees are compliant with administrative requirements, familiar with the mission and culture of the hospital, and understand expectations.
Mass Casualty Hospital Capacity Expansion Toolkit 
A concise, scalable surge response template can be a helpful quick reference to the hospital personnel tasked with expanding care capacity in the first hours of an incident and can minimize ad hoc and potentially conflicting decisions about prioritization of space and strategies. In the Mass Casualty Hospital Capacity Expansion Toolkit Demonstration, Dr. John Hick describes the toolkit and the process of completing each template. Check out the rest of the Health Care System Preparedness Considerations recordings for more lessons learned to bolster patient care and provider and system resilience.

Meet VA Career Professionals

Environmental service technician

At every VA facility kept clean for visitors and patients, there is an environmental service (EVS) technician, also known as a housekeeping aide, to thank. Dr. Shereef Elnahal, VA’s under secretary for health, said it best: “These are the frontline employees that are critical in moving the system on behalf of Veterans.” With unbeatable rewards and plenty of open positions available, find your fit at VA today with this critical-need career.

Workplace diversity

Workforce diversity at VA not only drives innovation; it ensures that every Veteran we welcome sees themselves reflected in the largest integrated health care system in the nation. Whatever field you apply for, be it a program support assistant like Roberto Cintron or recreational therapist like Raquel Gonzalez-Hodge, a VA career is more than just a fulfilling job and great benefits—it’s a commitment to accessible Veteran care for all.
