Abstract

Abstract A critical component of successful public health emergency responses is the availability of appropriate numbers of personnel with emergency response expertise. To achieve this, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) focused on strengthening training, personnel database systems, and responder outreach. To ensure availability of well-trained public health emergency responders, CDC and external partners coordinated training, planning, exercise, and evaluation activities; established the School of Preparedness and Emergency Response; and implemented Responder Training Tiers for response roles with defined functional competencies. For personnel information, CDC developed interoperable databases to streamline the search for specific staff expertise for a response. To improve responder outreach, CDC developed various mechanisms to efficiently identify and assign potential responders to responses. These measures work together to sustain a qualified workforce for public health emergencies, and may be helpful to other public health agencies for staffing and training of their response workforce.

准备疾病预防控制中心的公共卫生人力应急响应
成功的突发公共卫生事件应对的一个关键组成部分是拥有适当数量的具有突发事件应对专业知识的人员。为了实现这一目标,美国疾病控制和预防中心(CDC)将重点放在加强培训、人事数据库系统和应急人员外联方面。为确保有训练有素的公共卫生应急反应人员,疾病预防控制中心和外部合作伙伴协调培训、规划、演习和评估活动;建立了防备和应急学院;并为具有明确职能能力的响应角色实施了响应人员培训级别。对于人员信息,CDC开发了可互操作的数据库,以简化对特定工作人员专业知识的搜索。为了改善响应者的外展,疾病预防控制中心制定了各种机制,以有效地识别和分配潜在的响应者。这些措施共同努力,维持一支应对突发公共卫生事件的合格工作队伍,并可能有助于其他公共卫生机构为其应对工作人员配备人员并进行培训。
