Chapter 1, Appendix A. Subject Matter Interview Questions and Experts
The Science Applications International
Corporation team interviewed Federal, State, and local subject-matter experts
representing a broad spectrum of regulatory, professional, government,
and private agencies and organizations. The goal was to summarize
current evidence-based, best demonstrated practices relating to preparedness
for health-care professionals in the topics of personal protective equipment,
decontamination, isolation/quarantine, and laboratory capacity. The
interview questions for each report topic and the subject matter experts
interviewed are below.
Personal Protective Equipment
Interview
Questions
- What is the
appropriate PPE for a bioterrorism event? What is the appropriate
PPE for a chemical event? What is the appropriate PPE for
a radiological event? Please answer these questions as they
pertain to a medical facility and for EMS in the field,
and for infectious events, as well as contamination events necessitating
the performance of decontamination?
- Is there any
new or recent research that you know of that would assist healthcare professionals
in choosing appropriate PPE for an infectious agent or a contaminant?
- Would you recommend flexible levels of PPE, for the healthcare professional
to choose from, based on patient symptoms, positive pathogen or agent identification
and immune status (i.e, past hx of chickenpox), or do you
recommend a "prescriptive" approach, such as full standard precautions
for an infectious pathogen and Level B or C for a chemical contaminant?
- What is the financial impact of maintaining flexible levels of PPE
available?
- What are the current barriers for healthcare professionals in utilizing/having
the appropriate PPE for a biological, radiological or chemical event, manmade
or naturally occurring?
- What types of research and development needs to be done to enable
healthcare professionals to utilize appropriate PPE?
- Is there anything else you would like to add?

Isolation/Quarantine
Interview Questions
- What
provisions have been enacted in your jurisdiction or in other communities
of which you are aware that would assist in the coordination of reporting
suspected disease events and contact information to local or state public
health departments 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? What technological
equipment or advances would you suggest be utilized or created?
- There
have been discussions among the hospital community that during a biological
incident, hospitals should be reserved for persons who do not have the
virulent agent and such persons should be assessed and treated in off-campus
isolation units. However, until technological advances allow
for immediate triage and diagnosis of emerging infectious diseases and
bioterrorism agents, patients infected with bioterrorism agents or emerging
infectious diseases will present to hospitals and health care providers
with early forms of transmissible diseases. What principles
should be implemented or models would you recommend regarding the use of
off-campus isolation units that would minimize contamination of health
care facilities both before and during a biological exposure event?
- What
should be an equitable provision for remediation, decontamination, or clean-up
of a public or private facility that has had patients isolated/quarantined
in it who have been infected with an agent such as SARS or other communicable
diseases after the disease situation has passed? What agencies need to
be involved?
- The
monitoring of thousands of infectious disease case contacts that were under
quarantines during the Toronto and Hong Kong SARS outbreaks required many
hours of telephone and personal contact by a core of public health staff. What
pre-emptive, pre-event training capacities can be pursued now to increase
the local level surveillance capacity of public health department and/or
hospital staff?
- What legal protections/provisions are you aware of that maintain
not only continuity of life operations (income protection, care of family
members, etc.) for persons involved in voluntary or mandatory home/work
or full-fledged quarantine but for resumption of employment after the quarantine
is completed? What regulatory provisions would assist in
this process or need to be developed to assist in this process?
- During the anthrax incidents of October 2001 and the SARS epidemics
in 2002/2003 there was an attrition of workers out of and away from the
workforces that were exposed to these events. Some workers
requested transfers out of the affected facilities to other types of occupations,
some left that particular line of work altogether, and some health care
workers refused to treat infected patients. What provisions
need to be established to a) address the mental and physical protection
issues of health care workers for their own health during infectious disease
situations and b) to support the maintenance of a viable health care workforce
during times of surge needs? Would the provision of "incentive
pay" for treating certain types of infected patients create a perception
that treating certain illnesses is more financially lucrative than treating
others? If so, who should pay for the incentives for the
workers?
- What provisions should be in place to actually enforce community
isolation or quarantine, above and beyond after the health officer orders
such to occur? How specifically should law enforcement act
to carry out the order, including use of force? Should this
be state/region-specific or should this be a federal/national act? What
specific provisions need to be in place prior to the incident for either
of these scenarios to occur?

Laboratory Capacity
Interview Questions
- Is there clear direction and formal coordination between emergency
responders and laboratories that defines the laboratory's roles and functions?
- Is the decisionmaking process based on adequate information (what
samples to test, how to test them, procedures for referrals, etc.)?
- Is there adequate capacity for environmental testing in addition
to clinical samples? What is the testing capacity/capability
for each sample type?
- Are adequate planning and protocols in place for surge capacity?
- Are there adequate equipment and training available to safely handle,
store, and ship/transfer samples that may contain biological warfare agents? Are
facilities maintained and personnel trained to the appropriate biosafety
level (BSL2, BSL3, etc.)?
- Are there adequate security and safety measures in place to protect
select agents and samples from theft or misuse and laboratory personnel
and emergency responders from exposure?
- Are training and reagents provided by Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention's CDC) Laboratory Response Network adequate for effective
and timely diagnosis and identification of biological weapons agents?
- Is proposed funding from Health and Human Services/CDC adequate
to upgrade laboratory capacity within the Laboratory Response Network (LRN)
in preparation of potential bioterrorist attack?
- What is/are the greatest gap(s) in laboratory capacity preparedness
for a bioterrorism attack (appropriate facilities (size, security, and
containment level), equipment, appropriately trained personnel (full-time
employees or on loan for surge capacity), diagnostic protocols for clinical
and environmental samples, reagent availability, cooperation between organizations
(LRN, Public Health Laboratory Services, hospitals, Federal Bureau of Investigation,
etc.), rapid and accurate communication of tests, results, etc. (high speed
internet and E-mail access to secure databases (Health Alert Network, Epi-X,
etc.), etc. How do you think we could bridge or fill the
gap? Which agency, department, or organization do you think
is best suited to handle this?
- There has been a huge increase in bioterrorism spending. In
regard to laboratory capacity, do you generally feel that the money is
being well spent? Who do you think should oversee spending
efforts? The States? A Federal agency? Where
do you see the most/least amount of money being spent?
- How do you feel the LRN is evolving? Do you see any
gaps in responding to a BT event or naturally occurring epidemic that could
be filled by the LRN?
- What do you think are the most important "dual-use"
resources that laboratories require (e.g., personnel, training, clinical
lab connectivity, or equipment)?
- Can you identify preparedness steps that laboratories can take that
do not require a great deal of funding (e.g., interagency communications,
or on-line training)?
