3.- Simulation exercise that allows the evaluation of how the Assistance Network and the structure in command are functioning.
4.- Analysis and evaluation of the response capacity of Bi-national Network Services in frontier scenarios in regions where there is a high exchange among countries.
5.- Preparation and Organization of the Health Services Network in the different periods of the Pandemic.

III.- Pandemic Period
Phase 6; Increased and continuous transmission in the
general population (outside the country)
Phase 6; • Increased and continues transmission in the
general population (in the country)
11
Keep up the simulation exercises Evaluate the response capacity of the
Services Network in a Pandemic and each time make the corresponding adjustments.
Implement attention and infection control Protocols
Apply the already established clinical norms for suspicious cases
Make emphasis on the vigilance measures.
III.- Pandemic Period
Phase 6; Increased and continued Transmission in the general population (outside the country)
12
Activation of the Structure established for this Phase
Application of the norms established for the management of patients and the responsibility of other institutions during this period.
Application of the measures proposed in the Contingency Plan in relation to isolation in specific attention centers and/or others planned for in the Contingency Plan.
Categorize patients and implement the derivation flows of the same in accordance with the established norms.

PREPARATION AND RESPONSE OF THE HEALTH SERVICES TO AN INFLUENZA PANDEMIC
15
I.- Interpandemic Period
1.- Formulation of the National Contingency Plan that incorporates the National Health Services Response Capacity during an eventual Influenza Pandemic
a.- Organization and Functioning of the Health Services Network in response to an eventual Pandemic.
2.- Identify the Installed Capacity and the Assignment of Resources of the Health Services Network, outpatient as well as hospitalization.
3.- Identify the Potential Response Capacity of the
Health Services Network.
16
I.- Interpandemic Period
Organization and Functioning of the Health Services Network in response to an eventual Pandemic. Organization: There must be an organizational chart that explains the hierarchy at different levels up to the national level. Flow and expedited coordination systems must be established, known and agreed by consensus by the
different parties involved in each one of the Pandemic’s Phases. The parties responsible at different levels must exist in accordance to the organizational chart set out. It must be clear in which Phase of the Pandemic other self managing hierarchical institutions are
incorporated, for example, Private Attention Systems, Armed Forces, Firefighters etc.Duties: The duties of each party must be defined in each distinct Phase of the Pandemic
Outpatient Care Hospital Care Referenced Hospitals Local and Referenced Laboratories Private Attention Armed Forces Firefighters International Organizations (Red Cross, etc.)
1.- Creation of a National Contingency Plan that incorporates the Health Services Network’s Capacity to Respond during an eventual influenza Pandemic
17
a. Outpatient Care
Number of outpatient establishments in the Health Services Network, according to territorial jurisdiction
Staffing of Human Resources Available for outpatient care (doctors, nurses and physiotherapists)
Existence of outpatient personnel that provide respiratory therapy.
Knowledge and/or registration of social and private Organizations that exist, for example: Red Cross, Rotary Clubs, N.G.O’s
Availability of:Drugs, antibiotics, antiviral,
othersSupplies: to control infectionsPersonnel protection equipment
I.- InterpandemicPeriod
2.- Identify the Actual Capacity and the Availability of Resources of the Health Services Network, both outpatient and hospitalization.
18
b.- Hospital Care Number of hospital establishments in the Health Services Network, according
to territorial jurisdiction (if it corresponds) Number of hospital establishments in the Private Care Network Total number of beds available by establishment in the Health Services Network Total number of beds available by establishment in the Private Care Network Total number of critical beds (intermediate and intensive) available in the
Private Care Network Availability of Equipment that supports critical activity in the Health Services
Network establishments Availability of Human Resources to support actual critical activity Actual Hospital Management indicators: occupational indexes, average patient
stays etc. Availability of:
Medications; antivirals, antibiotics and othersSupplies and equipment to control infections
Personnel protection equipment
I.- InterpandemicPeriod
2.- Identify the Actual Capacity and the Availability of Resources of the Health Services Network, both outpatient and hospitalization.

a.- Outpatient Care Ability to outfit additional services in non traditional attention spaces,
examples Community Centers, Schools or other Availability of extra Human Resources, example: Red Cross
personnel, trained volunteers in support assistance, privates etc.
b.- Hospital Care Number of possible beds to be reconverted in the Health Services
Networks’ establishments Availability of Human Resources that support the increase in hospital
activity Installed physical capacity that allows an increase in the number of
hospital beds Ability to establish strategic reserves with respective storage and
distribution mechanisms.

21
Establish assumptions under which the simulation exercises are carried out:
General Assumptions Attack Rate (two scenarios) Population to be considered, example, Total Country Population, Population that benefits from the
Public System plus population that benefits form the Private Care System broken down into separate groups etc.
Lethality by group etc Periods and percentages in which consultations and/or hospitalization will take place
Assumptions Outpatient Care Percentage of consultations to be carried out Number of consultations per patient Output of consultations per hour
Hospitalization Assumptions Hospitalization percentages according to groups, older than and younger than 65 years Percentage of patients that will require critical beds Percentage of patients that will require a bed that is less complex than a critical bed Average length of hospitalization of patients in critical beds
II.- Períod ofPandemic Alert
1.- Theoretical impact / simulation exercise of the impact of the disease and the demand on the Pandemic services
22
a.- Outpatient care: Estimated Human Resource gaps according to the simulations Estimated gaps in supplies, medicines and personnel protection equipment Estimate requirements and gaps for antiviral, antibiotics or others Assess estimated gaps: Human Resources, equipment, supplies, antibiotics, antiviral etc. Estimate gaps in requirements that are not outlined in this guide but appeared as a need in the
simulation exercises.
b.- Hospital Care: Estimate gaps in equipment used to support critical activity (fans or others) Estimate gaps in supplies and reactives needed for increased activity Estimate Human Resource gaps that allow for the reconversion of beds and increased activity
in critical units Estimate requirements and gaps for antiviral, antibiotics or others Assess estimated gaps: Human Resources, equipment, supplies, antibiotics, antivirals etc. Estimate gaps in requirements that are not outlined in this guide but appeared as a need in the
simulation exercises.

Existence of Guides for the control of infections Existence of Guides for the management of cadavers (manipulation,
storage and disposal) Design training of personnel to identify suspicious cases of influenza and
the corresponding flow of consequences. Formulate Protocols that clearly indicate in which stage or at which
moment national organizations and other actors responsible for the creation of non traditional attention scenarios will be incorporated.
Carry out periodic simulation exercises Keep periodic and systematic information on hospital indicators and
outpatient care.
