Mass Antibiotic Dispensing: Collecting POD Exercise Data
A Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) and
Public Health Training Network Satellite Broadcast and Webcast
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
April 6, 2006
1:00 PM - 2:30 PM ET
|
This live interactive program will describe the how, what, and why of collecting
time-study data during Point of Dispensing (POD) exercises. During POD exercises,
patients should be monitored to determine not only the total amount of time it
takes them to go through the POD, but also the amount of time spent at each station
and the time to move from one station to another in the POD. Collecting this type of
timed data will allow state and local Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) Planners to
more accurately determine the throughput at their PODs as well as identify processes
that may result in bottlenecks. This broadcast will provide an overview of
time-study methodology, discuss ways to collect time-study data, and suggest
how the data collected can be used to identify specific problems in POD flow.
Panelists will also briefly discuss computer models that may assist SNS planners
in their efforts to improve and refine their large-scale dispensing plans.
These computer models will be discussed in depth in a broadcast scheduled
for November 2, 2006. A question and answer session will enable participants
nationwide to pose questions to panelists.
