The DOH Capability Assessment covers statewide development of which capabilities?

The question is about building readiness across the whole health system at the state level. The DOH Capability Assessment uses both the CDC-defined Public Health Preparedness Capabilities and the ASPR-defined Healthcare Preparedness Capabilities. This pairing ensures the state develops capabilities for public health functions like surveillance, information sharing, incident management, and protective actions, alongside capabilities for healthcare delivery such as hospital surge capacity, continuity of operations, and clinical coordination. It’s a comprehensive, cross‑sector approach, not limited to hospital readiness, vaccination alone, or international disaster response.
