1. Capability Cliff Notes Series PHEP Capability 6—Information Sharing What Is It And How Will We Measure It?

2. Learning Objectives Become familiar with Capability Functions Become familiar with Tasks that complete the Functions Understand how these Functions and Tasks are measured or may be measured in the future (Performance Measures)

3. Information Sharing Information sharing is the ability to conduct multijurisdictional, multidisciplinary exchange of public health and medical related information and situational awareness between the healthcare system and local, state, Federal, tribal, and territorial levels of government and the private sector. How can healthcare coalitions ensure needed public health and medical information is being shared across sectors with the people who need it?

4. Information Sharing Functions What Can Healthcare Coalitions Do to Ensure Accurate Information Is Shared Throughout Jurisdictions? 1.Provide healthcare situational awareness that contributes to the incident common operating picture. 2.Assist healthcare organizations to develop, refine, and sustain redundant, interoperable communication systems.

5. Healthcare Coalitions’ Roles It is understood that while some healthcare coalitions take an active role in healthcare operations, others are in support and coordination positions only. All tasks can be read or adjusted to account for coalitions’ coordination rather than direct actions.

6. Capabilities and Measures Resources The presentation will be an overview of what the functions and tasks mean, linked to the performance measures. Please note that since the capabilities PDF document has come out, more performance measures have been developed. If performance measures have come out since the creation of the capabilities document below, they have been included in these tutorials following their function slide, even if the PDF lists that there are no measures. For functions that still have no measures, questions for health departments to begin thinking about measures have been included instead. For exact lists of the capabilities and performance measures, and data collected for the measures, documents can be found at these links: For Capabilities, Functions, and Tasks http://www.phe.gov/Preparedness/planning/hpp/reports/Documents/capabilities.pdf http://www.phe.gov/Preparedness/planning/hpp/reports/Documents/capabilities.pdf For Performance Measures http://www.phe.gov/Preparedness/planning/evaluation/Documents/hpp-coag.pdf http://www.phe.gov/Preparedness/planning/evaluation/Documents/hpp-coag.pdf

7. Function 1: Provide healthcare situational awareness that contributes to the incident common operating picture How can healthcare coalitions help provide situational awareness to partners? 1.Before an incident, identify the essential elements of incident-specific healthcare information that are timely, relevant, actionable, and can be reasonably delivered during the response. 2.Before, during, and after an incident, use coordinated protocols to receive and send timely, relevant, and actionable incident-specific healthcare information to incident management.

8. Function 1 Measurement How does ASPR measure if health departments are developing helpful recovery processes for healthcare systems? Percent of healthcare coalitions (HCCs) that can continuously monitor Essential Elements of Information (EEIs) and demonstrate the ability to electronically send data to and receive data from coalition members to inform a Common Operating Picture Numerator: Number of HCCs that can continuously monitor Essential Elements of Information (EEIs) and electronically send data to and receive data from coalition members to inform a Common Operating Picture. Denominator: Number of HCCs identified by awardees Target is 100%. All data elements must be answered ‘yes’ for an HCC to count in the numerator. Specific data elements that were included in the measure can be found at this link on pgs 34-37: http://www.phe.gov/Preparedness/planning/evaluation/Documents/hpp- coag.pdf

9. Function 2: Develop, refine, and sustain redundant, interoperable communication systems Tasks: What do healthcare coalitions need to do to assist healthcare organizations to develop and maintain interoperable and redundant communication systems? 1.Before, during, and after an incident, have redundant processes and systems to communicate with multi-jurisdictional and multi-disciplinary emergency responders. 2.Before, during, and after an incident, have redundant processes and systems to communicate the status of the incident and the status of the community healthcare delivery to healthcare organizations.

10. Function 2 Measurement How does ASPR measure if health departments are developing helpful recovery processes for healthcare systems? Percent of healthcare coalitions (HCCs) that can continuously monitor Essential Elements of Information (EEIs) and demonstrate the ability to electronically send data to and receive data from coalition members to inform a Common Operating Picture Numerator: Number of HCCs that can continuously monitor Essential Elements of Information (EEIs) and electronically send data to and receive data from coalition members to inform a Common Operating Picture. Denominator: Number of HCCs identified by awardees Target is 100%. All data elements must be answered ‘yes’ for an HCC to count in the numerator. Specific data elements that were included in the measure can be found at this link on pgs 34-37: http://www.phe.gov/Preparedness/planning/evaluation/Documents/hpp- coag.pdf

11. HPP-PHEP Shared Measurement How does ASPR measure if healthcare coalitions have shared information successfully, with people who requested it across healthcare organizations? Percent of local partners that submitted all requested Essential Elements of Information (EEI) to health and medical lead within the requested timeframe Numerator: Number of local partners that submitted all requested EEI to the health and medical lead within the requested timeframe. Denominator: Number of local partners that received a request for EEI. All data elements asked to be reported in this measure can be viewed at this link, on pgs 39-41: http://www.phe.gov/Preparedness/planning/evaluation/Documents/hpp- coag.pdf http://www.phe.gov/Preparedness/planning/evaluation/Documents/hpp- coag.pdf
