Lisa McGuire, our pandemic planning expert from the University of Minnesota Health Sciences Library, reports that she did a brief survey of health sciences administrators in her region on whether they had incorporated any pandemic planning in their disaster plan. She reports that the resounding answer was no or not yet, but speculates that most are probably waiting for plans to come down from their parent institution. Last spring, I emailed the the UVA Health System’s Emergency Preparedness director about pandemic planning, and she stated that a plan was in the works. I’ll see if I can get an update on UVA’s plan.
