Detailed Health and Medical Annexes to Crisis Relocation Plans.
Abstract
This report contains the results of a research project to develop detailed health and medical (h/m) plans for crisis relocation. An analytical report and h/m guidance were also prepared. The analytical report presents information not heretofore reported. Specifically, in the event of crisis relocation: (1) about 75 percent of risk-area hospital patients can be discharged, and about 15 percent can be relocated to host-area hospitals; (2) an increased demand for mental health services will be met by psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and clergymen; (3) colleges and universities can be valuable sources of beds, infirmaries, and laboratories; and (4) temporary outpatient clinics established in host areas can provide for most of the relocatees' primary care needs. The h/m guidance provides the crisis relocation planner with h/m planning aids not previously reported. In addition to hospital staffing requirements for typical and nonrelocatable patients, estimates are provided of the number of risk-area hospital patients that are dischargeable, relocatable, and nonrelocatable.
