Description
Hospital Preparation for Bioterror provides an extremely timely guide to improving the readiness of hospitals or healthcare organizations
to manage mass casualties as a result of bioterrorism, biological warfare, and natural disasters. Contributions from leading law enforcement
agencies, hospital administrators, clinical engineers, surgeons and terror-prevention professionals provide the most comprehensive, well-rounded
source for this valuable information. Chapters on logistics and protecting the infrastructure help personnel distinguish the specific
risks and vulnerabilities of each unique institution and assists in identifying specific solutions for disaster and bioterrorism preparedness.
Audience
clinical engineers, scientists, researchers, administrators, physicians, nurses.
