Next Steps for Action, Essential Service #2:
- The state system needs to define roles and manage expectations around testing (immediate need)
- Involve more partners in planning and exercising emergency and surge plans (high priority)
- MDH should foster more partnerships with the public safety community (low priority)
- MDH should improve education to stakeholders in the laboratory system (low priority)
- The state system should define additional redundancies/layers for surge logistics and operations (immediate)
- The system should work to improve emergency response communications throughout the state (low)
