  10. Disaster Ready Clinics/Triage and Treatment Sites • Because of geography, discussions began in 2010 with Evergreen Earthquake exercise to ready Peninsula Community Health Services (PCHS), only federal community health center in Region 2. • Local Disaster Medical Assistance Team trained PCHS in triage and treatment. • 136 volunteers were utilized to practice this new skill during Evergreen Earthquake. • Biggest lesson learned was that clinic staff did not know how to lift and move patients.

  11. January 2012 • Held joint meeting for major clinic leadership in Kitsap County to include: • Group Health Cooperative • Harrison Urgent Care and Primary Care Centers • Kitsap Children's’ Clinic • Pacific Surgery Center • Peninsula Community Health Services • Silverdale Surgery Center • Sound Family Health • The Doctors’ Clinic • Virginia Mason – Winslow

  12. February – May 2012 • Public Health was able to engage an intern to develop Disaster Ready Clinic curriculum components to include: • Triage & Treatment using the START algorithm • Incident Command System • Patient Lifting and Moving • Disaster Mental Health

  13. June 2012 • Virginia Mason Clinic on Bainbridge Island stepped forward to volunteer to pilot the curriculum • Set aside 2 hours for entire staff to be trained in four modules • Provided feedback on curriculum • Staff suggested basic preparedness information be included • It was clear that the patient movement module is best trained in a hands- on environment

  14. Fall 2012 • Developed fifth module to include basic preparedness for staff with introduction of Joplin video to grab everyone’s attention. • Discussion with EMS at MCI planning meeting about the future of triage and treatment in Kitsap County. Winter 2013 • Brought clinic leadership back together to describe program roll-out , including different teaching modalities for curriculum. • All original clinic leaders plus more were in attendance at the meeting and have agreed to have their clinics trained by year end 2013.

  15. April 2013 • Train-the-trainer course conducted. • Trainers can be from clinic staff or volunteers. • Trainers can be part of Medical Reserve Corps. Remainder of 2013 • Coordinate training with clinics • Communicate progress with EMS • Identify and engage clinics that will participate in future MCI exercises The Future • Maintain clinic engagement to remain Disaster Ready

  16. Final Curriculum Modules • Introduction including Joplin Video and Basic Preparedness for staff • Triage and Treatment • Incident Command System • Patient Lifting and Moving • Disaster Mental Health

  17. What’s in it for the clinics? • Understand that during disasters, patients are coming whether they are ready or not. They agree—It’s better to be ready. • Clinics understand that the hospital resources need to be kept for those who need them most. • Clinics will receive triage kits through ASPR funding. • Once trained, DEM will provide clinics with signage that indicates they are a Disaster Ready Clinic. • Media discussions to highlight clinic engagement. • Closer linkage with the hospitals, public health, and DEM.

  18. What’s in it for the community? • Better able to provide Kitsap County residents with the right type of patient care during times of disaster. • Curriculum being utilized throughout the region.

  19. “The role of the Community Health Center is to protect the surge capacity of hospitals so they can see the most critical patients. We should be seeing the walking wounded and worried well.” Zena Kinne, Director – Quality Peninsula Community Health Services
