Three rounds of mystery patient drills simulating either influenza-like illness measles were conducted at 41 community health centers in New York City from April 2015 through December 2016. Through qualitative analysis, several strengths (e.g., established protocols, effective communication) and challenges (e.g., hand hygiene, explaining isolation rationale) were identified. The authors note that these types of drills can serve as helpful emergency preparedness tools for community health centers and provide examples of key evaluation components.

Burn Mass Casualty Incidents (BMCI) are infrequent but can quickly overwhelm local resources and exceed the capacity of the closest burn center to provide care. Patients will need to be cared for initially at non-burn facilities that may be called on to render immediate critical interventions and prolonged care until transfer to a burn center is deemed necessary and possible. This ASPR TRACIE tip sheet offers an initial approach to burn injury evaluation and resuscitation at hospitals that do not normally provide burn care.
