HCC Support Request:

• Question: Could your facility manage by setting up another hospital triage facility managed by your current staff?

• Question: Would a county/city triage facility help you manage staffing issues better? If so, would you have supervisory staff that would be able to be a resource to an alternate care facility?

HCC Support Request:

• Question: Would (under current policy) you be able to charge/be reimbursed for services in an Alternate Care Facility staffed by volunteers in which your staff supported the operations?

• Question: What training do you anticipate needing to administer “Just in time” in such a facility, or in your own facility to help support surge operations?

Other items:

• MRC volunteers have been contacting the coordinator to offer “overnight” and morning/weekend hours.

• What requests for information, or resources do you have for the HCC?

• For the County? • For Public Health? • For the MRC?
