    ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

    EMS personnel and hospital-based clinical staff will attend a multi-day conference focused on preparing for and responding to medical surge events. Our guest speakers will cover topics related to medical surge events including logistics of patient flow, pediatric triage, pediatric and responder stress and mental health, transport, ethics involving pediatric patients, rural response, lessons learned from actual incidents, and a number of other specialty topics.

    Idaho Department of Health and Welfare (IDHW) is pleased to announce Idaho’s first Medical Surge Events Conference. Hosted by the Public Health Preparedness and Response Section (PHPR), the conference is funded through the Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP). As the source of federal funding for health care system readiness, HPP was created in 2002 by Health and Human Services (HHS). It is currently managed by the Assistant Secretary on Preparedness and Response (ASPR).

    The program strives to develop four main capabilities--(1) Foundation for Healthcare and Medical Readiness, (2) Health Care and Medical Response Coordination, (3) Continuity of Health Care Service Delivery, and (4) Medical Surge. As the nation works to meet the objectives of each capability, healthcare professionals are tasked with increasing capacity for medical surge response. This year, the Section chose to address pediatric preparedness.

    In order to provide pediatric care during medical surge events, EMS personnel and hospitals must be prepared to transport, receive, stabilize, and manage the vulnerable patient population. Given the limited number of pediatric specialty hospitals in the US, first responders and receiving hospital clinical staff must work together to provide care during crises.

    Idaho’s HPP program is excited to provide a conference with subject matter experts from around the country who can address pediatric response before, during, and after mass casualty incidents (MCI).

    The PHPR Section would like to invite attendees who might find themselves on-scene during a pediatric medial surge event to learn from experts in the field and take the knowledge back to their facilities and departments. IDHW believes providing this opportunity will help shape the future of Idaho's pediatric preparedness and response by increasing capacity for pediatric care during a medical surge event.
