Mass Antibiotic Dispensing:
Using Public Information to Enhance POD Flow
A Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) and
Public Health Training Network Satellite Broadcast and Webcast
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Continuing Education Start Date: April 1, 2009
Originally aired December 1, 2005
1:00 PM - 2:30 PM ET
|
This program highlights the importance of public
information and patient education as it relates to throughput at the
Points of Dispensing (PODs). The right messages, sent at the right time,
to the right audiences will both prepare and mobilize the public to come
to the PODs. A well informed public is most likely to react to the incident
in a more orderly manner. Public Information and Communication (PIC)
programs can make a long line more bearable, should give volunteers
the answers to possible questions, and will speak to the needs of
the community. Viewers will examine messages, methods, and materials
important to a PIC program including media relations, patient education,
and signage.
