Current Project Period
Next Project Period
Capabilities developed in focused on aligning the HPP and Public Health Preparedness Program (PHEP) programs to better integrate medical and public health systems
Refining Capabilities to distinguish between Medical and Public Health Activities and Reflect Changes in Health Care Delivery Systems
Initial measures set a high bar for performance; however, they are subjective and are not easily validated
Improving Performance Measurement to be Objective, Exercise-based and Peer Assessed
Fostered collaboration among competitive health care entities through the establishment of regional HCCs across the country
Optimizing HCCs to Maximize Effectiveness and Functionality
Grant alignment reduced awardee burden, eliminated federal duplication and improved federal efficiency

6. Capabilities Update
ASPR’s Health Care Preparedness Capabilities were published in January 2012
The overarching goal of the update is to create new or modified health care preparedness and response capabilities that will increase regional coordination among health care sector partners, decrease deaths, injuries and illnesses during emergencies, and enable the health care system to rapidly recover
The update process is also focused on distinguishing between the health care and public health activities
Healthcare Preparedness Program

7. Guiding Principles
The capabilities aim to support health care preparedness and response for the nation
The updated capabilities should remain focused on what is needed for the health care system to be prepared and response-ready
The capabilities apply to health care organizations, health care systems, and health care coalitions
Healthcare Preparedness Program

8. Stakeholder Feedback
The current scope of the capabilities is generally correct
The capabilities need to be streamlined for greater clarity:
There is redundancy and overlap across the capabilities, e.g., Emergency Operations and Information Sharing
As written, some of the capabilities, functions, and tasks are outside of the scope of health care coalitions, e.g., Fatality Management and Volunteer Management
The capabilities need further clarification of the differences in the roles and responsibilities for health care and public health
