As of now, a majority of the state is being affected by the outbreak and resources are becoming scarce. Your hospital is the only medical center that serves the county. Based on trends and tracking, the CDC believes that your county in which can expect a major increase in patients in the next 48-72 hours with the disease. As the president of the 300-bed hospital which serves a diverse population of 50,000 citizens, it is the president\u2019s responsibility to create a plan of action to help address and treat patients of the county who might become ill in the next 48-72 hours.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-right: 0px;margin-left: 0px;padding: 0px;font-family: inherit;font-size: 0.875rem;line-height: inherit;cursor: text\"><br style=\"line-height: inherit\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-right: 0px;margin-left: 0px;padding: 0px;font-family: inherit;font-size: 0.875rem;line-height: inherit;cursor: text\">The first task you will undertake is to research the disease, its course of treatments, and cures to help effectively treat the potential outbreak.

You will need to reach out to and gain assistance from other healthcare organizations in the area to help you track, treat, and control the spread of the disease. As the leader of the hospital, you will have to make decisions on how to properly manage the shortage of beds, doctors and nurses, and resources that may occur due to the outbreak.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-right: 0px;margin-left: 0px;padding: 0px;font-family: inherit;font-size: 0.875rem;line-height: inherit;cursor: text\"><br style=\"line-height: inherit\"><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"margin-right: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-left: 0px;padding: 0px;, sans-serif;font-weight: bold;line-height: inherit;font-size: 2em;cursor: text\"><span style=\"line-height: inherit\">Instructions<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"margin-right: 0px;margin-left: 0px;padding: 0px;font-family: inherit;font-size: 0.875rem;line-height: inherit;cursor: text\">Create an executive summary addressing how best to successfully manage the problem outlined in the scenario.
