For a copy of the plans below, sign up to be a member of the SST Healthcare Coalition.
Preparedness Plan
The purpose of the Salt Lake, Summit, and Tooele Healthcare Coalition (SST Coalition) Preparedness Plan is to preserve and maintain the health of people in the Salt Lake, Summit, and Tooele counties. This document and its supporting documents are intended to provide general guidance for preparation to all hazard events that threaten the healthcare system that results in illness or injury to the population within the coalition’s boundaries. Preparation capabilities to be documented include, and are not limited to, development and testing of operational capabilities to promote communication, information sharing, resource coordination, and operational response and recovery.
Response Plan
The purpose of the SST Coalition Emergency Response Plan is to preserve and maintain the health of people in Salt Lake, Summit, and Tooele counties during disaster and emergency situations. This plan and its supporting documents are intended to provide regional hospital & healthcare facility coordination guidance within local and state emergency planning documents and procedures.
Annex Plans
SST Coalition operational annexes complement the Response Plan. Each annex is intended to be a high-level, incident-specific response plan, identifying the experts and specialized resources that exist within the SST Coalition or external to the SST Coalition that are available, the mechanisms/ processes that will be used to determine which patients go to which facilities, and an understanding of how patients in each community and specialty facility should plan to receive. Each facility is encouraged to develop more detailed policies/procedures that support their individual operations, but that level of detail is not necessary in this annex.
Burn Annex
This annex provides guidance to support a burn mass casualty incident (BMCI) in which the number and severity of burn patients exceeds the capability of SST Coalition. The annex will identify the experts and specialized resources that exist within and external to the HCC that must be engaged in a mass burn response, and the mechanisms/processes that will be used to determine burn patient transfer to burn facilities when possible.
Pediatric Annex
The SST Coalition Pediatric Surge Annex is established to provide guidance for any incident that has impacted the ability of Primary Children’s Hospital, or other healthcare resources within the SST to provide adequate care for the children of our community. The Annex is a high-level response plan, identifying the experts and specialized resources that exist within the SST Coalition area. This plan is designed to support a pediatric surge where the SST Coalition may be called upon to support pediatric disaster care.
Infectious Disease Annex
The SST Coalition has an important role in ensuring a coordinated healthcare response to a Highly Infectious Disease incident. The purpose of the SST Healthcare Coalition Infectious Disease Emergency Response (IDER) Plan is to assist local and regional healthcare partners in Salt Lake, Summit and Tooele counties prepare for, respond to, strive to contain, and recover from an outbreak of disease caused by a known infectious agent or biological toxin, or respond to other emerging infectious diseases.
Radiation Annex
This Annex provides guidance to support a coordinated healthcare response to a radiation emergency in which the number and severity of exposed or possibly exposed patients challenges the capability of SST Coalition member facilities. This Annex outlines specific incident response and patient treatment protocol necessary to properly plan for, manage and care for patients during a radiological emergency.
Chemical Annex
The chemical annex describes a coordinated healthcare response to a chemical emergency in which the number and severity of exposed or possibly exposed patients challenges the capability of SST Coalition member facilities. The annex will outline specific incident and response protocols necessary to properly plan for, manage, and care for patients during a chemical emergency.
