About this grant

Funding for one demonstration project that will help identify issues, develop leading practices, and demonstrate the potential effectiveness and viability of the RDHRS concept. The RDHRS structure is conceptualized as a tiered system that builds upon the existing Medical Surge Capacity and Capability (MSCC) foundation for local medical response (e.g., trauma systems and HCCs) by enhancing coordination mechanisms and incorporating discrete clinical and administrative capabilities at the state and regional levels. The RDHRS is not intended to alter or displace current local patient referral patterns, but is instead intended to define the delivery of clinical care when the existing referral patterns and health care delivery capacity and capabilities are exceeded by catastrophic events (requiring either redistribution of patients, importation of resources, or resource utilization guidelines). Additionally, the RDHRS is intended to provide additional health care integration and expertise into preparedness and response structures.

Who can apply, from the official notice

Hospitals, local health care facilities, political subdivisions, states, emergency medical services organizations, emergency management organizations
