Are you ready?
Like the public, health care leaders might feel overwhelmed by the prospect of preparing for a terrorist act, especially one involving biological agents. In our 10-page special report, we look at practical steps you can take today to get ready, drawing lessons from hospitals in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Israel, and from Salt Lake City's efforts to prepare for the possibility of terrorism at the Olympics in February. Please note that our report is based on the latest news about terrorism, reaction to it and readiness efforts as of H&HN's deadline.
