Our #response #team has been hard at work since #hurricane Helene destroyed a Baxter International Inc.plant in North Carolina that manufactures critical IV Fluids for healthcare. For nearly two weeks our Healthcare Emergency Coordination Center team has been at work focused on the following: - Leading multi-agency coordination among healthcare organizations, public health (state and local), EMS, healthcare associations (long term care, dialysis, hospitals, etc) and state health and human service agencies to support information sharing, collaboration, coordination on strategies for managing the impacts, etc. - Monitoring, assessing and reporting current impacts to the healthcare system to provide situational awareness and common operating picture so that patients can continue to get care. -Coordinating resource sharing /mutual aid options among healthcare organizations and partners and aiding in /resource logistics requests if needed. - Advocating for the needs of healthcare organizations and escalating/elevating issues needing to be addressed through state and federal partners. We will continue to support our healthcare system partners as we navigate these challenging times together. Thank you for your continued collaboration and partnership! #hcc #disasterpreparedness #disasterresponse #healthcare #collaboration #supplychain HHS Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response

We appreciate the The Seattle Times recognizing the impacts the #IVFluid Shortage is having on healthcare and the importance of the coordination and collaboration underway to help navigate the impacts to patient care.

Thank you to our partners at Peninsula Daily News for sharing the impacts hospitals are seeing as a result of the IV fluid shortages and recognizing the strong collaboration happening to navigate these challenges!

Our Executive Director Onora Lien spoke with KOMO TV about the impacts of the IV Fluid shortages on #hospitals and #healthcare organizations throughout Washington. They also discussed what our #team has been doing over the last two weeks to coordinate healthcare across the state to share information, resources, strategies for conserving the limited supplies so that patients can continue to get the care they need. We are grateful to all of our healthcare and public health partners for the strong collaboration and partnership. #supplychain #ivfluidshortage #disasterresponse #hurricanes #disasterpreparedness #hcc HHS Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response Department of Health (WA Health)How are Washington state hospitals coping with the nationwide IV fluid shortage?
