National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases. Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion and the CDC
As part of CDC’s ongoing COVID-19 response, a new Patient Impact Module has been created in NHSN to help facilities track and monitor the number of cases reported in their facilities daily. The new module collects summary data which can be viewed in a table form without generating new analysis datasets. In addition, the summary data can be exported to excel/CSV for additional analysis outside the application. The data collected using this module will be informative and provide situational awareness at both state and national levels.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
The purpose of this resource is to provide guidance to assist with jurisdictional planning and implementation of satellite, temporary, or off-site vaccination clinics by public and private vaccination organizations. Other users may include public health preparedness professionals. The guidance primarily focuses on clinical considerations for planning a vaccination clinic, including vaccine storage, handling, administration, and documentation.
Institute of Healthcare Improvement (IHI)
This resource discusses surge preparedness and 8 key takeaways or lessons learned by a major healthcare system who was at the epicenter of the US Covid crisis. Even the most sophisticated trend analysis can only estimate how health care systems need to prepare for taking care of higher numbers of patients with COVID-19. Many across the globe are drawing on the best information available to date to guide preparations for an expected surge of patients in need of hospital-level care.

The Reliability Culture Implementation Guide combines the five principles of high reliability organizations (HROs) with elements of safety culture. The Reliability Culture Implementation Guide was created to provide resources for healthcare organizations, with an emphasis on safety culture, regardless of where they are in their high reliability journey. This guide is not a step-by-step
process, but rather a guide that helps facilities after completing an initial assessment.
