NHSPI_measure_metadata: 74
Data provided by Big Local News.
Data from the National Health Security Preparedness Index.
The overall index is useful for examining a state’s readiness in dealing with any number of issues. There also are specific metrics that directly relate to states’ abilities to respond to the Coronavirus pandemic. With that in mind, we have pulled out and processed key metrics -- from preparedness for surge testing to evaluating how many people in each state have access to paid time off. Our goal is to make it easier for journalists to access and analyze for their reporting. For more information, please start with the NHSPI_READ_ME file. Questions? Contact biglocalnews@stanford.edu.

Percent of the state’s population who live within 50 miles of a trauma center, including out-of-state centers |
The measure indicates access to advanced trauma care at a Level I or II designation. In general, trauma centers are regional resources essential to assist in the management and rehabilitation of patients with injuries from various types of emergencies and disasters. A Level I Trauma Center is capable of providing the most complex care for severe injuries. A Level II Trauma Center can initiate definitive care for all injuries, but may need to transport complex cases to Level I facilities to complete treatment. |
