The Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) was established in 1999 at
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to
provide an inventory of medications and medical supplies
available to send to a location in the event of a large
infectious disease outbreak or other public health emergency,
including a bioterrorism attack. In light of new information
on bioterrorism, particularly Anthrax, we now know that communities
of all sizes must work the goal of providing prophylaxis for the total
population in 48 hours (for Anthrax). State and local planners must find
new ways to increase the number of patients seen in shorter periods of
time and yet we must adhere to certain standards of medical care.
Streamlining POD operations is the key to exceeding predetermined patient
per hour goals.

Goal
To introduce participants to methods of setting up
and operating Points of Dispensing (PODs)
to achieve maximum effectiveness.

- List the goals of a mass antibiotic prophylaxis POD.
- Know methods to achieve POD effectiveness and efficiency.
- Identify three ways to increase Patients per Hour (PPH).
- Define "Balancing the Line."
- Determine a method for evaluating progress.
- Promote health improvement, wellness, and disease prevention in cooperation with patients, communities, at-risk populations, and other members of an inter-professional team of health care providers by assuring the availability of effective, quality health and disease prevention services
