Analysts hired by the US government developed a mathematical model to help determine whether the risk of accidentally releasing a deadly pathogen outweighs the risk of performing gain-of-function research. The model is patterned after risk assessments for the nuclear and chemical industries.   On Wednesday, November 18, 2015, the CDC launched a new quarterly feature of its website called Business Pulse. Each quarterly issue will feature a different topic -"from chronic threats that impact health and productivity to major health emergencies" - as it relates to businesses and their work forces. Topics covered include, Flu Prevention, Food Safety, Business Continuity, and [maintaining a] Healthy Workforce.
You can find a quick link to the CDC's Business Pulse website on our Partner Resources: Federal and State Multiagency Resources page. The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) endorses the National Disaster Life Support Foundation (NDLSF) courses as the “gold standard in all-hazards training for medical response to mass casualty incidents.”
