HShape1 PP Impact Survey – September 2017


Survey Purpose

To gather information from health care coalitions (HCCs) about the state of health care system preparedness and response today versus before 2012 in order to illustrate the impact HPP has had on health care system preparedness. In 2012, the Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP) shifted to a coordinated health care coalition approach. This survey will also collect data on HCC’s technical assistance (TA) needs. The survey will be sent to the main point of contact from each of HPP’s 380+ HCCs. No more than one survey will be completed per HCC.

Guiding Question

As a result of HPP, how is health care system preparedness different today than it was in 2012 and before?

Section 1: Consent Form and Demographic Information

Consent Form Language

You are invited to participate in an online survey by ASPR. This survey is intended for health care coalitions (HCCs) funded by ASPR’s Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP) with the purpose of gathering information from HCCs about the impact of HPP on the state of health care system preparedness and response.

HPP appreciates your time and effort in completing this short survey. Your input is important, and we encourage candid responses. The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete online; there are no known risks or discomforts associated with this survey. Your participation in this assessment is completely voluntary, and you may stop the assessment at any time.

The survey is being provided to all HPP-funded HCCs. We ask that the person with the most knowledge of your health care coalition submit the completed assessment by Friday, November 3, 2017. We request only one response per HCC.

If you have any questions, please contact Kati Miller at katimiller@deloitte.com.

Again, thank you for your time and feedback.
