Checklist Helps Hospitals Plan for Flu Pandemic

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has developed a checklist to help hospitals prepare for a flu pandemic. The checklist includes sections for assessing a hospital’s pandemic flu planning and decision-making, and progress toward a written pandemic flu plan. The agency calls the checklist “one of several tools for evaluating current plans,” and recommends each hospital adapt the list to its unique needs and circumstances. (AHA News Now, 6/5/07)
