Bestpractice examples will be referenced to provide a framework for discussionon how hospitals and public agencies are currently using social media to theirfullest potential before, during, and after disasters to boost resiliency. Specificconsideration will be given to the following: establishing your agency’s goalsand objectives; policies and issue considerations specific to social mediaand other interactive web-based platforms; resources and training necessaryfor implementation; integrating your social media communications into theJoint Information System as part of Unified Command.Learning Objectives:u Analyze and discuss the benefits and challenges associated withemploying social media technologies in public health and crisiscommunications.u Define ways to utilize social media to reach underserved andvulnerable populations, particularly during the critical prevention andpreparedness phases.u Describe the steps needed to integrate these new communicationtools into current public health emergency managementcommunications plans, policies, and procedures and assess how theyfit into the Joint Information System.Intended Audience: Certified counselors, dentists, emergency physicians,EMT/paramedics, environmental health personnel, healthcare executives,health education specialists, industrial hygienists, marriage & familytherapists, medical administrators, morticians, nurses, physicians, socialworkers, veterinarians24Workshop N: Disaster Response: Are You Ready forthe Kids? A Refresher on Basic Pediatric MCI Triageand CarePresenters: Carolyn Blayney, RN; Mary Alice King, MD, MPH;Kathryn Koelemay, MD, MPH; Vicki Sakata, MD, FACEPTime: 1300-1700 hrsRoom: Delta DIn any disaster situation, the pediatric population will be among the mostvulnerable victims. In most situations they will be cared for not by pediatricspecialists in a pediatric specialty hospital, but by primarily adult trainedmedical personnel. As is demonstrated by population and resource studiesdone in King County, WA and in neighboring Pierce County by the HealthcareCoalition Pediatric Taskforce, the majority of the pediatric populations livewell away from pediatric specialty care facilities and closer to communityhospitals, urgent care centers, and private practices. Therefore, consistentand regular pediatric training is vital to maintaining the necessarymanagement skills and knowledge base. This workshop is primarily directedto non-pediatric care providers and emergency management personnelinterested in developing or refreshing basic pediatric skills and knowledge.The workshop will be divided into two sections. The first is a brief clinicalreview of basic pediatric triage, assessment, and treatment with emphasison a length-based color coding system and the Pediatric AssessmentTriangle. The three main MCI triage protocols (START, JumpSTART, and SALT)will be reviewed but with an eye toward specific pediatric needs. The secondhalf is intended to be interactive and provide the audience with practiceusing the previously described techniques and knowledge. Participants willpractice MCI triage and basic pediatric stabilization using both mock patientprofiles and actual patient encounters from field experience in Haiti in 2010.Training tools and just-in-time training techniques will be provided so thathospitals, DMAT, EMS, air transport personnel, and MRCs will be ready tomanage pediatric disaster victims.Learning Objectives:u Describe the three basic MCI triage systems and the benefits andpitfalls of each when triaging pediatric patients with informationbased on field experience in Haiti in 2010.u Accurately calculate pediatric dosages, sizes, and initial resuscitationtechniques needed in a disaster and in austere environments.u Review take-home tools, pearls, and just-in-time training resources toimplement in the participant’s home environment.Intended Audience: Dentists, emergency physicians, EMT/paramedics,health education specialists, nurses, pharmacists, physicians, respiratorytherapistsWorkshop O: MedMap DiscussionPresenter: Robert M.
