Section 13: Public Health Preparedness Informatics<br />

HERDS via health facility and local health reporting during the 2005 vaccine<br />

shortage. This data is made available through HERDS to State, Regional Offices<br />

and local health departments. Home health care and clinics can be included<br />

vaccine needs and inventory assessment with deployment of HERDS to these<br />

entities.<br />

Reporting and tracking forms for vaccines and antiviral medication resource<br />

requirements by priority groups at the facility and local health level will occur<br />

via a dedicated instance of HERDS architecture customized to implement a<br />

Counter Measure Resource Tracking System (CMRTS). Data reporting streams<br />

with the system will flow from targeted health facilities to local health<br />

departments to State, allowing each step on the reporting hierarchy to view and<br />

submit countermeasure resource needs within jurisdictions.<br />

• Acquisition, Distribution, Tracking. Inventory and distribution of counter<br />

measure medications and vaccines derived from the SNS, Emergency Response<br />

Cache (MERC) and State vaccine bank will be tracked through the CMRTS.<br />

Local health departments will be provided access to counter measure resource<br />

needs from facilities within their jurisdiction. LHDs will additionally report to<br />

the state POD and other response partner priority needs to the state via the<br />

CMRTS. Local health will request SNS MERC resources via the CMRTS<br />

system and report on inventory utilization within their jurisdiction. Linkage with<br />

CDMS data base will provide state and local health with assessment of dosages<br />

provided out through PODs. Reports and visualization products from the system<br />

will be available to through the dashboard. Automated standards based reporting<br />

to Federal agencies (CDC) will occur via standards-based messages and<br />

PHNMS transport.<br />

Advisories regarding availability of vaccine and or antiviral medications will be<br />

transmitted to target facilities, PODS and organizations using the IHANS<br />

system and NYSDOH HAN.<br />

‣ Action items:<br />

o Related NYSDOH program areas and CDMS developer will need to<br />

design and define linkage architecture required to integrate CDMS<br />

with CMRTS.<br />

o Related NYSDH program areas will need to complete definitions<br />

required for SNS/MERC tracking within CMRTS.<br />

• Pharmacy Inventories. BNE has required all pharmacies dispensing controlled<br />

substances in NY to have and maintain commerce accounts. Presence of<br />

pharmacies en mass on the commerce system presents the opportunity to assess<br />

availability vendor inventories of critical medications including antivirals.<br />

HERDS instances can be deployed to these organization for this purpose as well<br />

as meeting BNE reporting needs for this organization. Communications<br />

directory entries for inventory contacts at pharmacy organizations will enable<br />

the IHANS system to rapidly contact them during an event.<br />
