- CDPH Standards and Guidelines for a Healthcare Surge during Emergencies
In 2007, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) undertook a collaborative project to develop the Standards and Guidelines for a Healthcare Surge during Emergencies. On February 19, 2008, CDPH released the Standards and Guidelines, which address scope of practice, licensure flexibility, reimbursement, liability for licensed health facilities and professionals, and planning for surge and alternate care sites. These documents create a common and coordinated approach toward development of healthcare surge response plans by providing guidance, operational tools and training curriculum.
