Summary, etc. The events of one day-9/11, 2001, changed the world in many ways, but the warnings and discussions of potential terrorism on our own soil, of future threats of bio war and plagues, of massive earth changed, or of thermonuclear war have existed for decades. The need for medical care is the one constant element in the aftermath of any disaster, whether treating the physically wounded or sick, the scared, or those suffering from the many psychological traumas that bring the "walking wounded" in for care. Healthcare leaders who choose a path of awareness and prepare for the threats around them benefit greatly when their communities are threatened and their facilities are able to respond effectively.<br/><br/>This book is written for the healthcare administrator, manager, or leader responsible for the preparedness of his or her facility, employees, and staff in any disaster situation. The chapters focus on planning and preparedness, with a special emphasis on issues of terrorism. The authors have attempted to address questions that are often raised when discussing this topic.<br/><br/>The revised organizational functions are addressed, and many charts and tables are provided to clarify the confusing web of governmental and agency direction, control, and oversight that could derail the best planning efforts. Some unique topics, such as federal disaster reimbursement for the healthcare industry and the legal and ethical issues surrounding disaster planning and preparedness, shed new light, and checklists and tools are provided for guidance. We must be prepared every day, and it is our hope that this book will answer questions to ease this task.
