How does the Emergency Credentialing Program work?
Interested healthcare professionals provide personal contact information and a self-assessment of discipline-specific capability. For those who are selected to participate, this information will become part of a central, confidential database that can be accessed by participating acute care hospitals during a large-scale disaster or public health emergency. In coordination with the State of Connecticut Department of Public Health, volunteers who have the skills and competencies needed for the current emergency will be contacted to see if they are available to assist.
