Use Case Summary
During public health disasters, federal and state agencies issue guidelines for a variety of aspects of the disaster, such as symptom checking criteria, assessment of risk, instructions on care and monitoring. Embedding those guidelines into workflow allows the information to become part of the processes and does not replace existing plans.
