Natural disasters, the potential for terrorism and weapons-of-mass-destruction events occurring within the continental United States necessitate that all licensed health care providers understand the National Incident Management System and be able to contribute to inoculation, mass casualty assistance and triage care of the populace.
Health care and political leaders constantly revise "all hazard" response plans, using the available health care assets that local, state and federal agencies bring to emergency events. Illinois Public Act 49-409 modifies the scope of dental practice within Illinois to allow for a dental emergency responder (DER).
The DER is a dentist or dental hygienist "acting within the bounds of his or her license when providing care during a declared local, state or national emergency."
自然灾害、美国本土发生恐怖主义及大规模杀伤性武器事件的可能性,使得所有持照医疗服务提供者都有必要了解国家 incident 管理系统,并能够为民众的接种、大规模伤亡援助和分诊护理做出贡献。
医疗保健和政治领导人不断修订“全灾害”应对计划,利用地方、州和联邦机构用于应急事件的现有医疗保健资源。伊利诺伊州公法 49 - 409 修改了伊利诺伊州牙科执业的范围,以允许牙科应急响应者(DER)。
DER 是一名牙医或牙科保健员,“在宣布的地方、州或国家紧急情况期间提供护理时,在其执照范围内行事”。
