## Assessing Hospital and Health System Preparedness and Response

**Nathaniel Hupert, M.D., M.P.H.**
**Assistant Professor of Public Health and Medicine**
**Division of Outcomes and Effectiveness Research**
**Weill Medical College of Cornell**

## Guiding Questions

- How can/should we assess hospital capacity for bioterrorism response?
- What is the role of private hospital networks in bioterrorism response?
- What is the capacity of existing integrated healthcare delivery systems to provide patient care after a large-scale bioterrorist attack?

## Large-Scale Anthrax Attack Scenario

**250,000 Exposed **
**to Anthrax**

**7.75 Million **
**Non-Exposed**

**Outpatient **
**Antibiotic**
**Distribution**

- +

**No Treatment**

**No** **illness**

**TARGET FOR PROPHYLAXIS**

**Death**

**Hospital**

**Home**

**Hospital**

## Static vs. Dynamic Hospital Capacity

- ESTIMATED **TOTAL** CASUALTIES REQUIRING HOSPITALIZATION

- ESTIMATED **TOTAL **HOSPITAL BEDS AND MEDICAL SUPPLIES

**STATIC ESTIMATE:**** **CAPACITY FOR BIOTERRORISM RESPONSE

**Static vs. Dynamic Hospital Capacity**

## Problem with Static Estimates:

**Problem with Static Estimates:**

**Do you measure casualties here?****	**								         **Or here?**

## Alternative:

- BED

- DISEASE ONSET

- EXPOSURE

- Daily Case Onset Rate

- Daily Bed Capacity

**Alternative:**
**Dynamic Capacity Estimates**

## Hospital Treatment Model

**Variables:**
**Patient load: New York Presbyterian Healthcare System (NYPHS) has 20% NY Metro market share**
**Staffed bed availability**
**Success of post-exposure prophylaxis**
**Timing of disease onset **
**Disease treatment/hospital length of stay (LOS) and mortality**
**Information Sources**
**NYPHS “Surge Capacity” survey**
**CDC estimates of anthrax case rates**
**Hospital treatment/LOS/mortality from 2001 attack (e.g. >24 hours sick without treatment ******** death)**

## New York Presbyterian Healthcare System Bed Surge Capacity 

**New York Presbyterian Healthcare System Bed Surge Capacity **

## Hospital Treatment Model (Arena©)

## Hospital Capacity: Scenario Results

**	****If NYPHS were responsible for 50,000 potential casualties, outpatient prophylaxis would have to reach >90% of those exposed to prevent anthrax cases from exceeding available bed supply.**

## Outpatient Distribution Model 

- Variables:
**Staffing**
**Triage protocol **
**Drug availability**
**Patient arrival pattern **
**Patient characteristics**
- Basic Template:
**~70 staff per shift**
**~7 minutes per patient**
**~ 1000 pts/hr**

## Slide 12

## Conclusions

**These are the first scalable computer models of civilian medical response to bioterrorism **
**Our outpatient prophylaxis model was  implemented during 2001 NYC anthrax attacks**
****** ****Next: Improve this model using “live run” data**
**Our hospital model pinpointed the limits of system capacity in response to a hypothetical bioterrorist mass casualty event**
**Accuracy of the model depends on the quality of information (e.g., type of agent, natural history of disease, and treatment requirements) used**

**Conclusions**

- wildman - Proton Driver Director's Review

- March 15-17, 2005

## Specifications

**Intensity of 1.5E14 per MI cycle**
**Maximum ramp rate of 305 GeV/s**
**Cavity peak voltage of 300 kV**
**18 RF stations - same as current system**
**Frequency sweep: 52.814 MHz to 53.104 MHz**

- wildman - Proton Driver Director's Review

- March 15-17, 2005

## Beam Loading

**Both transient and steady-state beam loading are proportional to the cavity shunt impedance, Rs, divided by the cavity Q. **
- Rs/Q only depends on the cavity geometry
- For a coaxial quarter wave resonator, Rs/Q can be adjusted by changing the characteristic impedance of the line
**The new RF cavity will have 4x smaller Rs/Q    **
- Rs/Q reduced from 104 to 25.
- This will enable us to achieve 4x the present intensity with the same beam loading effects we see today.

- wildman - Proton Driver Director's Review

- March 15-17, 2005

## Beam Stability

**For a detuned cavity without feedback, the RF system reaches the Robinson instability limit when the power dissipated in the cavity equals the power being delivered to the beam.**
**For our case, the maximum power delivered to the beam will be 407 kW/cavity.**
**The maximum power dissipation in the cavity is chosen to be ~ 450 kW.**
**Guaranteeing beam stability without any feedback is the most conservative design.**

## Recap: Structured Decision Making & Rapid Prototyping

- Michael C. Runge
- USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center
- SDM Workshop, 28 January – 01 February 2008, NCTC

- “A formal application of common sense for situations too complex for the informal use of common sense.”
- R. Keeney

## What makes decisions hard?

- Sometimes you don’t know all the possible actions
- The objectives may be complex or contradictory, or in dispute
- The system dynamics may be poorly known
- Sometimes we confuse all the components
- Even knowing all the other components, the solution (optimization) may be difficult to figure out

## Structured Decision Making

- Is a formal method for analyzing a decision, by breaking it into components
- Helps identify where the impediments to a decision are, to focus effort on the right piece
- Provides a wide array of analytical tools for dealing with particular impediments

## Structured Decision Making

- Integrate
- Management _objectives_
- Alternative management _actions_
- Predictive _models_ of system response
- To identify optimal actions
- Optimal control theory provides methods

## Alternative Actions

- Objectives

## Decision Tree

## Consequence Table

| Expected Return | Actions |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Objectives | Status quo | Minor repair | Major repair | Re-build |
| Cost ($M) | 0 | 5 | 12 | 20 |
| Environmental Benefit (0-10) | 1 | 3 | 10 | 10 |

## Influence Diagram

- Fate of Power Plants

- Carrying Capacity (over time)

- Population Size

- Mortality rates

- Electricity demand

- Watercraft
- Threat

- Oil supply

- Aerial surveys

- Detectability studies

## “Soft” Approaches

- May be more qualitative in nature
- But nevertheless use the same approach for analysis:
- Enumerate actions
- Articulate objectives
- Predict consequences of actions in terms of objectives
- Examine trade-offs
- Perform sensitivity analysis to understand effects of uncertainty

## Rapid Prototyping

## Iterative Development

- Real Decision

## Rapid Prototyping

- You learn about and improve your framework by testing it
- Get around the track as fast as you can the first time
- Include all the elements of a structured decision, but keep them very simple (find the skeleton)
- See how it works
- Discover what needs to be improved
- The advantage is empowerment
- It doesn’t matter if you’re wrong the first time, you can start over with little loss

## This week

- Four case studies, all real decisions
- Goal:  use structured decision making to analyze the problem
- Philosophy:  rapid prototype
- Have a working, if somewhat abstract, prototype for the decision by Friday
- Subsequent development occurs after the workshop, if needed

***X.509 Certificate and Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Extensions Profile for the Shared Service Providers (SSP) Program*** **[February 6, 2006**]
- _[http://www.cio.gov/ficc/ssp_documents.htm](http://www.cio.gov/ficc/ssp_documents.htm)_

## Common Certificate & CRL Profile

- Updated February 2006
- Added FIPS 201 specific certificate profiles
- PIV Authentication certificate
- Card Authentication certificate
- Enhanced Signature Certificate profile to identify PIV Content Signers

## What’s different?

- _x0005_Departs from current best practice to meet new requirements
- Different public keys
- New signature options
- Larger certificates
- FASC-N
- Extended key usage extension
- Multiple status mechanisms
- PIV interim extension

## Different public keys

- Bigger RSA keys
- 2048 and 3072 bit keys
- ECC keys for 224 - 283 bit curves

## New signature options

- ECDSA signatures
- SHA-224 and SHA-256
- PSS padding

## Larger Certificates

- Certificate size is dominated by the public key and the signature
- 3072 bit keys means a larger maximum certificate size
- Multiple URLs for status mechanisms can add size if URLs are too long

## FASC-N

- The FASC-N is encoded as an additional name in the certificate to link the physical and logical credentials

## Extended key usage

- This extension is required to differentiate the card authentication key from the PIV authentication key

## Status Mechanisms

- Certificates include http and ldap pointers to CRLs
- PIV and card authentication certificates include pointer to OCSP server

## PIV Interim Extension

- New, private extension required to indicate investigation status
- Noncritcal extension
- Specifies whether a NACI is completed at the time of certificate issuance

## What is needed?

- Teacher preparation and professional education
- Targets content in benchmarks and standards
- Incorporates elements of good instruction
- In context of curriculum materials
- Coherent curriculum K-12 (Good Curriculum Materials)
- Targets benchmarks and standards
- Incorporates elements of good instruction
- Tells a story K-12
- Solid published research on student learning of specific ideas

**Archived Information**

## Things You Want to Hear

- Informal education can address topics that are great motivators like space or forensic science--teachers and kids love this stuff
- Informal education can target specific audiences like young science enthusiasts and provide opportunities for learning beyond school
- Informal education can be a resource for schools to achieve their NCLB mission

## Things You Don’t Want to Hear

- Most current science teaching K-14 is ineffective
- Most students are learning very little science K-14
- TIMSS, NAEP, ask a college professor
- Learning and teaching science is hard
- Science does not have a mechanical component like reading and mathematics
- Most curriculum materials don’t have potential for helping teachers teach or students learn
- Almost no materials produced by the major publishers or the informal education community have been researched
- There isn’t room in the school curriculum for most of the stuff that informal education organizations would like to push

## How much time is available  for learning science in school?

- Space Science example:
- ~ 50 hours per year for all science K-5
- ~100 hours per year for all science 6-12
- 1000 hours total K-12, Maybe 300 for “Earth Science”
- Maybe 150 hours total K-12 for Astronomy and Space Science
- ~12 hours per year!
- Our expectations for what most students can learn about astronomy and space science K-12 are probably way too high
- What would NASA like to do? Is it realistic?

## What can informal education do to bridge to schools?

- Approach education as you do science
- Read the science education and learning literature
- Study the benchmarks and standards
- Learn from teachers—spend time in classrooms
- Do experiments--set learning goals, gather data, publish the results
- Focus on your strengths and niches

## Milton R. Cole

- May 27, 1929  -  June 28, 2001

## Mom and Dad’s Church Photo

## Description Of My Father Milton R. Cole Prior To Being Prescribed an SSRI

- Happily married 47 years
- Father and Grandfather
- Always a protector of his family
- Had just built a new home
- Built many features into the home that he wanted
- Built cabinets with his son and a friend from raw lumber
- Built storm/tornado shelter in new home
- Looking forward to having friends over to new home
- Many other planning type activities
- These are not the type of things you do if you are planning on dying
- Upbeat
- Did not drink or gamble
- Did not have any of the recognized prerequisites for suicide unless you consider all men in their 70’s suicidal.
- Generally very good health

## The Tragic and Preventable End of My Father’s Life

- Experienced chest pains about 1 1/2 months after moving into new home
- As a precaution, visited a cardiologist
- Heart tested perfectly healthy
- My father was upbeat and excited about new home and new grandchild
- Prescribed the SSRI Prozac OFF LABEL to manage pain
- Doctor did not prescribe for depression
- 11 days after starting Prozac he exhibited symptoms of Akathisia
- Felt jittery
- Fingers tingled and skin felt odd
- Easily aggravated
- Told his son “I can not stand the way this drug makes me feel”
- 2 days later he committed suicide
- Would not watch movies where people were hanged
- He would turn the channel
- Had told his son 30+years ago that he had nightmares about hangings after seeing a movie with a hanging as a child and in his words “did not care to watch such shows”.
- When a teenager died in the neighborhood years ago by suicide Milton commented to his family “How could he have done this to his family”
- Died by means of his worst nightmare
- Completely out of character

## Protect Our Children

- There are thousands of people who have lost loved ones on SSRI’s. The pharmaceutical companies continue to expand their marketing of these drugs and push even “Off Label” prescriptions. When the amount spent on the marketing of these drugs rivals that of a soft drink manufacturer, something is wrong.  Do we really have that many people depressed?
- Please protect our children from the dangers of these drugs.

## Contrasting styles of Web UI Development: GWT vs Native JavaScript

- Roland Schweitzer
- Weathertop Consulting, LLC
- Jeremy Malczyk
-  JISAO

## GWT development is like...

- going to hear a symphony.

## JavaScript development is like...

- going to have oral surgery.

## Slide 4

## Slide 5

## Slide 6

## IDE Tools

- Special “hosted” browser that runs the native Java for development and testing in the IDE
- Debug client and server in the same IDE
- Cross-compiler that compiles and optimized the Java into JavaScript targeted to a suite of common browsers
- Deploys as regular web page with JavaScript references on any Web server

## Extensive Widget Library

- Many widgets (including maps)‏
- Widgets are easy to combine into reusable composite widgets
- Listeners can “bubble up” clicks through the widget stack so clicks can be handled at the top level

## Reuse Existing JavaScript

- “Overlay” a Java type on existing JavaScript code
- Similar in concept to JNI in fact they call it JSNI
- public class LASDateWidget extends JavaScriptObject {
- protected LASDateWidget(){}
- public final native String getDateLo()
- /*-{ return     this.getDateLo(); }-*/;

## Used Date Widgets

## Reuse or adapt AJAX RPC

- Consume existing XML or JSON server responses
- Build or adapt services to use GWT RPC
- It was so easy, I adapted our services to use native RPC
- Once the serializable container was written I could use it on both the server and the client
- Didn’t have to use native JavaScript that I am too impatient to understand and didn’t have to parse the JSON into a new client-side object

## Leverage Existing LAS Capabilities

- AJAX request/responses already available to discover data sets, variables, grids, operations and options
- Needed to add a way to group “data sets” (a single netCDF file) into collections that and to identify the group as special (candidate for the TimeSeries) interface.
- group_name = “Channel Islands – Santa Rosa” group_type=”time_series”

## Leverage...

- Existing tool (with new group parameters) consumes THREDDS catalogs which have collected the netCDF files into logical groupings and returns LAS configuration XML
- Existing operation and options for plotting time series
- Can add more from existing operation as needed or add new operations

## Conclusion

- GWT is more fun than oral surgery!

## Regional and Reach Code Developmentfor the

## Project Goals

- Phase I:  Develop “Best of Region” energy code to serve as the evaluation baseline for the Reach Code.  This code will capture the most stringent regional requirements for each component.
- Phase II:  Develop “Reach” code that extends the Best of Region code to achieve 15% more efficiency.

## Non-Residential Sector

- General consensus in many aspects across northwest energy codes.
- Often differences reside in the exceptions.
- Each regional code has areas where it is most stringent.
- The City of Seattle and State of Oregon energy codes regulate aspects of buildings not regulated in the other codes.

## 3D Structure of CMEs

- Polarization analysis of single-view LASCO images has resulted in the first 3D reconstructions of CMEs.
- The scattering point’s distance from the plane-of-the-sky is determined by the ratio of the polarized-to-unpolarized electron scattered emission.
- From the brightness ratio the 3D structure, position and velocity could be computed for several CMEs
- The data suggest that halo-CMEs are expanding arcades of multiple loops from the Sun
