He has just been promoted to the position of De- puty Commissioner of Social Security, where he will continue to have a hand in the administration of medicare while also assisting the Commissioner of Social Security in overseeing the Ad- ministration's other programs.

Community Hospitals Offered Disaster Care Items A thirty-day supply of critical medical items for disaster care is being offered to community hospitals in North Carolina. These items, known officially as the Hospital Reserve Disaster In- ventory (HRDI), w\\\ augment normal hospital shelf inventories to the extent of providing the acute care medical supply needs for approximately thirty days. it is anticipated that eventually every hospital in the State v^'ill be eligible to participate in the HRDI Program. Initial- ly hospitals participating in this program will be selected by the Public Health Service in accordance with criteria and standards established for emergency planning and location. To be eligible for the HRDI Program, community hospitals must meet the following criteria: 1. Be located within fifty (50) miles of the city limitis of the central city of a Standard Metropolitan Statisitical Area (SAASA) having 250,000 or more population, 2. Having fifty (50) or more beds; and 3. Have the operational capability to establish a comprehensive disaster program. The two major advantages in stockpiling medical supplies in community hospitals are (1) they will assist the hospitals in their primary responsibilities of patient care and community health and will assure the availability of supplies for a thirty-day period if regular supply channels are disrupted, and (2) it provides an opportunity to rotate supplies that might deteriorate in storage. The hospital will utilize these emergency supplies in its daily operations and will continue to purchase such supplies on its regular schedule thus maintaining its normal inventory at the same time. The North Carolina State Board of Health is the State agency having primary responsibility for the Medical Stockpile program in North Carolina. Therefore, contracts that are negotiated between the Public Health Service and the hospital participating in the HRDI Program will be coordinated with the State Board of Health to insure the continuity of emergency health service operations both at the State and loCal level. At the present time there are fifty (50) Packaged Disaster Hospitals (PDH) in North Carolina. These hospitals, on a selective basis, will be affiliated with community hospitals. By providing community hospitals with PDH's as well as HRDI Units, it will insure the State a minimum amount of essential stockpile medical items necessary for any type of disaster. The plan to assign the responsibility for each PDH to a community hospital is a step toward insur- ing operational capability for each pre- positioned hospital. Community hospitals agreeing to af- filiate with a PDH will be asked to (1) develop a utilization plan for the PDH, and (2) rotate pharmaceuticals in a PDH with their regular stocks, if prac- tical. The contract covering PDH rota- tion items and utilization planning will be between the community hospital and the Public Health Service. The contract covering the major components of the PDH will continue to be negotiated between the North Caro- lina State Board of Health and Public Health Service, and the County Civil Defense agencies and County Health Departments with the North Carolina State Board of Health. The eventual goal is to have every PDH in the State affiliated with a community hospital. April, 1967 THE HEALTH BULLETIN 15
