SUMMARY:ChemBio Terrorism Defense: Detection\, Countermeasures and Prevention of Chemical and Biological Threats
DESCRIPTION:We live in a shrinking world. Biological and chemical threats that were once thought to be exotic or outdated have become domestic and rejuvenated. However\, despite this recognition we are still largely without effective tools to detect\, intervene and/or prevent against intentional release of biological and chemical weapons. \nThis conference will focus on the application of cutting edge research that is now being applied to develop these new tools. We will bridge in-lab research and model development with real world application of these findings. \nMajor topic areas will include: \n\nNovel imaging techniques that follow host response to chemical and biological insults\nNovel approaches to countering antimicrobial resistance\nNew detection technologies\nUnderstanding the problems and advances in agriculture bioterrorism\n\nTo enhance the experience and foster professional development of trainees in this field\, the 2019 conference will be proceeded by the Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Chemical and Biological Terrorism. The GRS is planned by and is for post- and pre-doctoral trainees. The GRS provides an excellent forum for trainees to present and interact in a collegial environment.

SUMMARY:Emergency Triage\, Treat and Transport (ET3) Model Webinar
DESCRIPTION:A webinar will be hosted by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation’s (Innovation Center) Emergency Triage\, Treat\, and Transport (ET3) Model team on 27 Feb 2019. \nET3 is a voluntary\, five-year payment model that will provide greater flexibility to ambulance care teams to address emergency health care needs of Medicare beneficiaries following a 911 call. Under the ET3 model\, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will pay participating ambulance suppliers and providers: \n\nTransport an individual to a hospital emergency department (ED) or other destination covered under the regulations\nTransport to an alternative destination (such as a primary care doctor’s office or an urgent care clinic)\nProvide treatment in place with a qualified health care practitioner\, either on the scene or connected using telehealth\n\nAs a result\, the ET3 model aims to improve quality and lower costs by reducing avoidable transports to the ED and unnecessary hospitalizations following those transports. \nCurrently\, Medicare regulations only allow payment for emergency ground ambulance services when individuals are transported to hospitals\, critical access hospitals\, skilled nursing facilities\, and dialysis centers. Most beneficiaries who call 911 with a medical emergency are therefore transported to one of these facilities\, and most often to a hospital ED\, even when a lower-acuity destination may more appropriately meet an individual’s needs. \nThe webinar will include a timeline for release of the Request for Applications and the Notice of Funding Opportunity. \nEMS providers\, beneficiaries and other interested parties are invited to attend the webinar.
