The MCIM New Orleans Conference: “An In-Depth Dialogue on “Altered”/”Crisis” Standards of Care & Surge Capacity” will bring together an influential gathering of medical and public health leaders at the federal, state, regional, community, and health systems levels to discuss how to plan and support surge capacity in healthcare systems and develop “crisis” standards of care to meet mass casualty needs during all-hazard and hazard-specific emergencies.

At this two-day conference and workshop, cutting-edge leaders from both public and private will give the audience an in- depth look at the critical issues in developing “crisis” standards of care as well as present new ideas on how to evaluate and enhance surge capacity in a mass casualty incident. This program is an open forum with facilitated discussions that will allow the collaboration and sharing of best practices and challenges needed to better prepare for a mass casualty event.
