Surveillance Program:

在自然发生的传染病爆发或故意的生物恐怖主义事件中, 快速发现事件发生的能力将是至关重要的. 生物问题的迅速发现将大大减少受事件影响的个体数量. Therefore, 怀安多特县公共卫生部实施了一项全面的传染病监测方案.

该计划涉及与地方和州一级的各种机构建立网络的倡议, as well as, 由合同流行病学家使用的复杂疾病调查和跟踪软件. Together, the two elements of the surveillance programs will enable the health department to rapidly detect and respond to any infectious disease incident whether natural or intentional in nature. 以下是我们监控项目的合作伙伴名单:

  • Wyandot Memorial Hospital
  • Ohio Department of Health/Health Alert Network
  • Ohio Department of Agriculture
  • Ohio Department of Natural Resources
  • Wyandot Area Family Practitioners
  • Wyandot Area Veterinarians
  • Wyandot Area Pharmacies

The following is a list of the surveillance programs that are used by Wyandot County Public Health to rapidly detect and respond to infectious disease outbreaks:

  • 震中:是俄亥俄州综合征监测的主要来源. The system monitors hospital emergency departments and Urgent Care chief complaints and issues alerts when the number of specific chief complaints exceeds the threshold for predicted cases.
  • The National Retail Data Monitoring System (NRDM): The NRDM collects sales data on select over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceutical items. 然后对这些数据进行监测,以发现可能表明公共卫生事件的OTC销售增加.
  • The Ohio Disease Reporting System (ODRS): In Ohio, certain infectious diseases are reportable to the local and state health departments per Ohio Administrative Code 3701-3-02. ODRS帮助卫生保健提供者和卫生部门人员快速报告疾病. Nursing staff members interview communicable disease cases reported through ODRS in a effort to obtain potential exposure information in hopes of preventing illness in others as well as to ensure ill individuals receive medical care.

Wyandot County Public Health Environmental Division also collects ticks to monitor the prevalence of the Black-legged Deer Tick and the Lonestar Tick within Wyandot County. Both ticks are known to spread Lyme disease. The Environmental Division also sets mosquito traps during the summer to monitor the prevalence of West Nile Virus with the County. 动物咬伤报告通过各合作伙伴提交给公共卫生部门. 在公共卫生部收到这些报告后,主人会收到动物的检疫通知. 如果动物在隔离期间死亡,其头部将被送往实验室进行狂犬病检测.

Countermeasures:

Wyandot County Public Health's role in ensuring the safety of the local population during a naturally occurring infectious disease outbreak or an intentional bio-terrorism event is vitally important. In the event of an outbreak or incident, the local health department is prepared to offer medical support in the form of vaccinations or antibiotic prophylaxis and education relevant to the outbreak or incident. 计划在全县的特定地点作为必要的分发点.

All Hazards Disaster Preparedness:

Over the past several decades, 在美国,自然灾害和人为灾害的数量有所增加. 随着越来越多的人迁入灾害易发地区, the ability to rapidly and effectively respond to these disasters has become a significant role of the local health department. It has been found that the number of individuals who seek medical attention profoundly increases days after the disaster has passed. Infectious disease problems related to damaged sanitation systems and polluted drinking water as well as novice homeowners utilizing power tools and unsafe debris removal techniques overwhelm the local health care system after a disaster. Wyandot County Public Health is meeting these potential situations by revamping our emergency operations procedures to include medical response capabilities as well as post-disaster education, and environmental testing programs. 这些更新的计划无疑将减少灾后伤害和疾病的数量.

我们在怀安多特县最可能遇到的灾难类型, 根据怀安多特县紧急行动计划, are listed below.

  • Civil Disorders
  • Drought
  • Earthquakes
  • Floods
  • Hazardous Materials Incidents

Weapons of Mass Destruction Response:

在整个20世纪90年代,美国政府注意到核武器的扩散和使用急剧增加, biological, and chemical weapons. During the anthrax attacks in late 2001, it was quickly realized that there were major shortfalls in our country's ability to respond to large-scale WMD attacks. Since then, the infrastructure of the country's local health departments have been drastically upgraded to enable the local health department to prepare and respond to WMD incidents. 在当地,怀安多特县公共卫生部门一直致力于以下举措:

  • Upgrading of IT, GIS, 电信基础设施使卫生部门能够一天24小时有效地作出反应
  • 实施多学科监测系统
  • Coordinated training, preparedness exercises and mutual aid agreements with ODH and other local health departments within proximity to Wyandot County
  • 为怀安多特县的执法部门提供技术援助, fire department, and EMS agencies
  • Implementation of Homeland Security countermeasures
  • First responder and health care education programs
  • Public information dissemination

Pharmaceutical Distribution:

在大规模传染病爆发或使用大规模杀伤性武器的情况下, 怀安多特县的药品库存将很快耗尽. 在地方层面上应对这一脆弱性, 联邦政府已经建立了国家战略储备. The stockpile is operated by the Center for Disease Control and consists of twelve "12-hour push packs" which are randomly placed around the country. The push packs contain hundreds of thousands of doses of pharmaceuticals and a full compliment of medical equipment that would be needed for a wide-range of infectious disease problems. Aptly named 12-hour push packs, the packs are located throughout the United States so they can be delivered anywhere within 12 hours of being requested. Once delivered, 怀安多特县公共卫生部将负责接收, warehousing, and distributing the pharmaceuticals.

以下是在怀安多特县为准备大规模药品分发而开始的项目清单:

  • The completion of a mass vaccination/prophylaxis plan that outlines how Wyandot County Public Health would distribute medication to the entire population of Wyandot County in a short period of time.
  • 确定一个县的投放点和分发点,在那里将收到药物, stored, 并在发生传染病爆发或生物恐怖主义事件时在怀安多特县内分发.
  • Participation in drills and exercises that tests portions of the Mass Vaccination/Prophylaxis plan in preparation of an event.
  • Completion of pre-scripted messaging to instruct the public what steps during an infectious disease outbreak or bioterrorist event to take to help protect their safety.
