| Introduction |
INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW: An explanation of the rationale for Dispensing/Vaccination Centers (DVCs) in mass prophylaxis campaigns and a description of this computer model |
| 1. User Inputs |
1. GENERAL USER INPUTS: Enter data that provide the basis for calculating staff calculations for community-wide prophylaxis |
| 2. General Staff Outputs |
2. CAMPAIGN STAFFING AND PATIENT FLOW OUTPUTS: Estimates the number of staff and DVCs required to accomplish prophylaxis campaign |
| 3. Station Specific Staffing |
3. STATION SPECIFIC STAFFING: Estimates the number of staff needed at each station in the chosen DVC design (See 8, below) |
| 4. Support Staff |
4. SUPPORT/ANCILLIARY STAFF INPUTS: Enter data here to determine the number of DVC support staff (e.g., security) |
| 5. Summary of Staff |
5. SUMMARY OUTPUT: Summarizes the recommended core AND support staff per DVC and for the entire prophylaxis campaign |
| 6. Staff Limits Calculation |
6. CAMPAIGN CHARACTERISTICS BASED ON STAFF LIMITS: Re-calculates the time needed to complete and/or total population that can be prophylaxed based on estimated staff available |
| 7. Summary of Scenarios |
7. SUMMARY OF PRESET SCENARIOS: Lists the processing time and population estimates used for nine modeled scenarios |
| 8. DVC Flow Diagrams |
8. FLOW DIAGRAMS: DVC patient flow plans for non-contagious (e.g., anthrax) and contagious (e.g., smallpox) agents |
| 9. DVC Physical Layout |
9. DISPENSING CENTER LAYOUT: Sample layout of the model smallpox DVC on footprint of high-school basketball court |
| 10. Technical Appendix |
10. TECHNICAL APPENDIX: Describes the operations research concepts and mathematical
assumptions underlying this model |
