Pandemic Influenza Planning Information

Although no one can predict when the next influenza pandemic will hit, organizations around the world are working hard to develop plans to reduce the impact on the health of individuals, and on society in general.

Baycrest is developing a multi-phase preparedness and response plan for all departments. We are also working with the Toronto group of university-affiliated hospitals - known as the Toronto Academic Health Services Network organizations - on pandemic preparedness planning. It's important that we all share the best practices and have a uniform plan.

Our plans are extensive and address many areas including human resources, patient care, clinical information, staff education, communication, occupational health and safety, and infection prevention and control.
