Rural Health Information Hub Offers Healthcare Surge Readiness Resources

Published on Wednesday, July 29, 2020

The Rural Health Information Hub website has created a Rural Healthcare Surge Readiness section to provide up-to-date and critical resources for rural healthcare systems preparing for and responding to a COVID-19 surge.

The resources span a wide range of healthcare settings (EMS, inpatient and hospital care, ambulatory care, and long-term care) and cover a broad array of topics ranging from behavioral health to healthcare operations to telehealth.

Developed by the COVID-19 Healthcare Resilience Working Group, a partnership with the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies to provide support and guidance for healthcare delivery and workforce capacity and protection.
