FEDERAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUTURE PUBLIC HEALTH CRISES
• Develop a comprehensive plan to ID, deploy, track Federal public health and medical assets
• Propose legislation to transfer National Defense Medical System from DHS to HHS
• Train, equip and roster preconfigured, deployable healthcare teams
• HHS oversight and coordination of emergency, bioterrorism, and public health preparedness needs
• Communicate public health and individual/community preparedness guidance to the American people
• Create and maintain dedicated/deployable teams of commissioned U.S. Public Health Service officers to provide on-site expertise
• Assist local and state health infrastructures to increase capacity
• Foster widespread use of interoperable electronic health records (HER) systems to support emergency responders
• Arriving on the scene in a disaster – must be the calm in the storm. • Work through the chaos and confusion – don’t add to it. • Can’t do everything at once – establish a Priority of Work. • Look for quick wins. • In a disaster, you are the priority – if you ask for it, you’ll get it. • Need decision superiority – See first, Understand first, Act first. • Collaboration is key – everybody’s got a boss – unity of effort, not unity
of command. • Who else needs to know? • Public information critical in a disaster situation – poor communications. • Must give media access – if you’re not speaking, someone else will
speak for you. • Stay connected with those responsible – Mayor, Governor, President,
Military Agencies. • Track what key leaders are saying to avoid contradictions. • Deal with the misinformation put out by others. • Audio and video have to match.
Leadership During Crisis (1 of 2)
[email protected] Russel L. Honoré, LTG, U.S. Army
• See first, understand first, act first. • In crisis first report is usually wrong. • Invest yourself personally in your subordinates success. • Ability to listen to bad news...don't shoot the messenger. • Real art of leadership is getting people to willingly follow you. • Who else needs to know? Collaboration. • Listen, you have 2 ears and 1 mouth, Do two times more listening. • Leader can't just be an observer, must be a player. • Leader takes responsibility for what happens - good, bad, or ugly. • Your people are #1.
– QOL - Health – Security
• Life time Learner. • Best case / worst case. • Be aware of quicker, better, faster, cheaper. • Be a champion of change.
