During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the U.S. healthcare system was overwhelmed and crisis standards of care had to be considered. A National Academies workshop series will re-explore the recommendations from the IOM’s 2009 “Guidance for Establishing Crisis Standards of Care for Use in Disaster Situations: A Letter Report” and 2012 report “Crisis Standards of Care: A Systems Framework for Catastrophic Disaster Response” alongside ongoing lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic, with a particular focus on disaster planning, legal and equity considerations, and staffing considerations.
