Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. 08/2017 This Web page provides information and related computer tools that will help institutions and communities select alternate care facilities and determine which patients to send to them. The two new interactive tools are the Disaster Alternate Care Facility Selection Tool and an ancillary tool, Alternate Care Facility Patient Selection Tool. They provide help for community planners in developing a concept of operations manual for a specific iteration of an alternate care facility, determining staffing, and selecting hospital inpatients that might be eligible for transfer to an alternate care facility.
