Who has recommended the proposed policy regarding the allocation of ventilators in a severe pandemic?
The proposed policy was developed following extensive deliberation by a panel of experts convened by the New York State Department of Health-affiliated Task Force on Life and the Law. This group considered issues posed by a severe influenza pandemic and the resulting shortage of critical medical equipment and supplies. The panel included experts in medical ethics, clinical medicine, healthcare preparedness and other disciplines relevant to a pandemic influenza response.
