National Health Security Preparedness Index (NHSPI)

  • Launched in 2013, it is "the most comprehensive measure of the nation's health security preparedness to date".
  • Uses primarily existing (already collected), public-use, public health and health care system measures and compares these data against key national standards for preparedness.
  • Overview
  • Index evaluations by state
  • Recent publications
  • Additions to this bibliography will appear in future updates to REMM.
