Pandemic or Disaster Triage and Treatment Line
BPC currently utilizes an Automated Call Distribution (ACD) system that has Interactive Voice Response
(IVA) capabilities with nine available lines in addition to our poison center lines. An ACD system allows
for callers to be held in a que until the next available nurse can answer the next incoming call. Que
capacity is determined by the number of ports the system has. 13PC currently has 8 ports with the ability to
add an additional 16 ports if needed.
Currently three lines are dedicated to MCDPH for health care providers calling to report disease; public
health information line dedicated for residents of Maricopa County to provide telephone triage and
treatment on behalf of MCDPH and a line dedicated for emergency telephone triage, and treatment for
Maricopa County residents if needed for an emergency public health event. October, 2014, Banner Poison
Center in collaboration with MCDPH officials saw a potential need for an Ebola Virus Disease Public
Information Line to assist with questions and concerns from the Maricop a County community; this line is

Page 19 of 20

CONTRACT #: 860-15-031
coordination of patient care and follow-up through our parent health care system or other health care

BPC will continue to maintain and provide a log documenting each call received or made, action taken, and
additional information as required by the protocol. The current remote capabilities of the BPC allow staff to

BPC assisted MCDPH and local health care providers during the 2009-2010 H1N1 influenza pandemic
when MCDPH was experiencing a surge in telephone calls from local health care providers. Staffing was
easily increased by 2.0 FTEs to assist managing incoming calls._During a two week time frame an
additional 50 calls per day were seen. BPC saw an opportunity to participate in a national pandemic pilot
project and is currently in its second year. This pilot involves a select number of poison control centers
across the United States working in collaboration between the Centers for Disease Control (CDC),
American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC), Association of State and Territorial Health
Organization (ASTHO), National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) and United
Way Worldwide 211. This pilot project is known as Flu on CaI1TM in which the objective is to establish a
national response network capable of supporting the country during a severe influenza pandemic-
(Attachment 5). BPC can play an important role in assisting with a local influenza pandemic or other
public health event/disaster utilizing MCDPH approved protocols for these events. Additional RN staffing
needs for a public health event would be assisted by Banner Staffing Services (BS S) and Paramedic
students from Arizona Academy of Emergency Services (AAES) to assist with staffing for surge on phone
BPC currently has 33 work stations available, both on-site and remote, with plans to continue to add
more remote workstations before the end of 2015.
BPC has similar experiences with assisting with other health events in Maxicopa County which have
included hepatitis, E-coli outbreaks, wildfires, mercury spills and West Nile Virus. BPCC has assisted in
hospital preparedness drills and also with disaster planning exercises with MCDPH with the most recent
being the Super Bowl in February 2015.
BPC staff is fully capable to assist with emergency events that may cause an increase in call volumes
beyond what our normal capacity is. We have been preparing for these types of events with the Flu on
CallTM pilot which calls for our call center to be able to increase staffing and manage up to 250% of normal
call volumes. We have included a copy of our Year one Pilot Operations Plan for Flu on Ca1ITM Report--
(Attachment E).
Quality Assurance and Staff Training
Quality assurance is carried out hi-weekly by Management staff which include reviewing all calls received
on lines designated for MCDPH; all reports reviewed; reports logged weekly and random case reviews of
call recordings done. If a particular issue is noted further education will be given to staff by Clinical
Manager or RN Clinical Educator.
All training for RNs answering calls for MCDPH is given during orientation by Clinical Manager and RN
Clinical Educator; DRL and PIL is part of staff's annual competencies. BPC has also had staff from
MCDPH come on-site and give staff in-services on a variety of public health topics.
