Care Coordination Needs of the Elderly Population

The elderly, especially those with chronic illnesses, are highly vulnerable during
disasters, facing difficulties in accessing adequate care. Challenges include unmet
healthcare needs, managing chronic illnesses, accessing healthcare services, and
shortages of resources and providers (Chung, 2022). The COVID-19 pandemic
exacerbated these challenges, leading to recommendations such as visitation
restrictions and stockpiling medications (Lebrasseur et al., 2021).

Critical Elements of a Disaster Preparedness Strategy

om
Disasters create unmet healthcare and mental health needs, necessitating a disaster
preparedness toolkit. Mental health issues and unmet primary care needs require
attention (Mughal et al., 2023). Patient-centered, collaborative care is key, emphasizing

t.c
team collaboration and adequate communication to inform elderly patients and
caregivers about available resources and evacuation routes.

en
Personnel and Material Resources Needed in Emergencies

m
Emergency situations require key personnel like first responders, social workers,
geriatric care managers, pharmacists, and community health workers, along with critical
gn
material resources such as access points to healthcare facilities, transportation,
ventilators, and medical supplies (Frennert, 2023).
si

Standards and Best Practices for Safeguarding

As

Ethical and culturally competent care is vital, requiring adherence to recognized codes
ss

of ethics, cultural competency training, and compliance with regulations like HIPAA
(U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, n.d.).
la

Interagency and Interprofessional Relationships

eC

Effective care coordination relies on collaboration among agencies like FEMA and CDC,
facilitating resource allocation and information sharing (Federal Emergency
in

Management Agency, 2023).

Regulatory compliance, including HIPAA and the National Disaster Recovery
Framework, ensures effective disaster management and resource allocation (FEMA,
2011).

Care Coordination Team

A well-prepared care coordination team, trained in emergency protocols and cultural

competency, ensures effective care provision during crises (Shah et al., 2022).

Conclusion

In conclusion, this presentation underscores the importance of a disaster plan tailored to

the needs of the elderly with chronic illnesses. By addressing care coordination needs,

om
resource requirements, standards, and interagency collaboration, we aim to ensure the
well-being of this vulnerable population during emergencies. Thank you for your
attention, and I welcome any questions.
