2018 Environmental Public Health Responses (CSTE National Office)

September 13, 2018 Call Notes

Not much new to report from the call today. Of note, emPOWER data (data on Medicare beneficiaries that rely on electricity-dependent medical equipment) has been released to the affected states –  this released information includes identifiers (unlike the de-identified data available on the linked public map above).
 
In regard to deployed DMATs, nothing was mentioned. However, they provided an email for information requests, so I requested that information for our members.
 
Most of the information discussed was equipment/pharmaceutical/hospital preparedness. I imagine this will be how these calls will go until we move deeper into the potential response. Moving forward, I will just send everyone updates of CSTE note.
