Dr. Nathanial Hupert: National Health Security Preparedness Index

Dr. Nathaniel Hupert, an associate professor of medicine and healthcare policy and research, was appointed to the National Health Security Preparedness Index Methods' Modeling Working Group in February.

The index examines America's preparedness efforts by looking collectively at the health security preparedness of states. The Index is updated annually to accurately reflect the nation's progress in preparing for, preventing and responding to potential health incidents. The Methods and Modeling Working Group continually evaluates the systems used to create the index to ensure its relevance and measurability.
