Question

3. Define crisis care. Describe its consequences in developed and developing countries. How can the emphasis on crisis care be reduced​

Answer 1

Answer:

Crisis Care means a dwelling or institution for the temporary care of not less than three (3) and not more than six (6) residents (excluding staff) in a crisis situation requiring immediate shelter or assistance for a short period of time.

Explanation:

Over the past decade, federal, state, tribal, and local governments, the Institute of Medicine (IOM), and other entities have embarked on developing crisis standards of care (CSC) plans and guidance (e.g., AHRQ, 2005; Devereaux et al., 2008; IOM, 2009, 2012; Ohio Hospital Association and Ohio Department of Health, 2011; Phillips and Knebel, 2007; State of Michigan, 2013; Timbie et al., 2012). CSC planning is intended to help the emergency response system—including emergency management, public health, behavioral health, emergency medical services (EMS), health care organizations and providers—provide patients with the best care possible given the circumstances. In catastrophic disasters involving an overwhelming demand for medical care, CSC planning is also intended to enable more effective use of the limited resources through fair, just, and equitable processes for making decisions about who should receive treatments when there are not enough resources to provide patients with the level of care they would usually receive.

Answer 2

Answer:

Crisis care: In a crisis scenario requiring immediate refuge or help for a short length of time, crisis care means a home or institution for the temporary care of not less than three (3) and not more than six (6) individuals (excluding employees).

Consequences in developed and developing countries and reduction:

The federal, state, tribal, and local governments, as well as the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and other organizations, have spent the last decade formulating crisis standards of care (CSC) strategies and advice (e.g., AHRQ, 2005; Devereaux et al., 2008; IOM, 2009, 2012; Ohio Hospital Association and Ohio Department of Health, 2011; Phillips and Knebel, 2007; State of Michigan, 2013; Timbie et al., 2012). CSC planning is meant to assist the emergency response system, which includes emergency management, public health, behavioural health, EMS, and health care organizations.
