Associate professor of health management and policy Marc Hiller and the Institute for Health Policy and Practice’s director of health law and policy programs Lucy Hodder have been appointed to the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services’ State Disaster Medical Advisory Committee. They are part of an extensive statewide committee responsible for establishing crisis standards of care guidelines, in particular the triage of critical healthcare resources to ensure that appropriate and effective care is provided should the COVID-19 pandemic result in hospital surge that exceeds available resources. The committee will provide guidance to hospitals and healthcare facilities and will be making recommendations to Governor Sununu during the pandemic crisis period.
