Presented Survey Staging an Emergency Department in an Emergency

1. 5.) Assessment of existing apps that do organizational stage classifications

Dhruv Sharma and Jan Chrosniak 

1. 6.) Create initial timeline to product X

Survey Discussion:

Need to identify who answers the survey - are they qualified

 Need to define the thresholds for the categories of things assessed in the survey (e.g., "minor shortages" vs "shortages") - may have an answer from ACEP this week

 Need to translate the model into an algorithm that calculates organizational stage based on answers to the survey - if you reach any point in a stage it triggers the entire stage

Need to answer the "so what" question

1. Awareness for an organization's own planning

1. Load balancing - follow on: how do we present and manage load balancing to the population?

1. Access to external (e.g., gov't provided) resources

1. Recommendations/best practices for how to operate at level X and/or avoid level X+1

 Recommend keep organizational assessment and individual health status as two separate things - 2 different apps for now

Bo Dagnall

New Action: wireframes for a pilot mobile app (Laura) - Bo will talk to Perspecta digital services team

New Action: knowledge base for recommendations based on staging classifications and specific staging factors (e.g., supplies)
