The Essential Functions and Considerations for Hospital Recovery document was developed by the Harvard School of Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Exercise Program (HSPH-EPREP) in collaboration with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) Emergency Preparedness Bureau.
This resource was developed for hospitals to use as they prepare to manage their recovery from emergencies of all types. It was written for hospitals and is intended to complement the ongoing efforts of federal, state, and local agencies that are similarly committed to enhancing health care recovery capabilities.
