Crisis Standards of Care during COVID-19 Summary of State Actions

In Spring 2022, ASPR TRACIE conducted a review of open-source materials to determine crisis standards of care (CSC) actions taken by each state during the COVID-19 pandemic. This included a review of relevant CSC declarations and media accounts of crisis conditions at healthcare facilities. This summary document provides key findings from the review and recent literature, and challenges and suggestions for future work to help ensure a more equitable, uniform response in the future.
