Session Description:
Taiwan has rapidly produced and implemented a list of at least 124 action items (eTable in the article Supplement) in the 5 weeks (that’s 3 to 4 per day) to protect public health. Early identification of individuals with the virus coming from China and imposing travel restrictions are important. However, the policies and actions go beyond border control because they recognized that that’s not enough. Stopping infections require case identification and monitoring of close contacts and Taiwan used new integrated data and technology to accomplish that. Quarantine of suspicious cases are difficult and they treated individuals with care and dignity. The also proactively find new cases by retesting those tested negative for flu. Then there is the question of resource allocation (assessing and managing capacity) to make sure frontline workers and those at risk have masks and protective gear, the need for reassurance and education of the public while fighting misinformation, negotiation with other countries and regions, formulation of policies toward schools and childcare, and relief to businesses and workers under quarantine.
Education Goals:
- Understand the process of policy analysis to produce better outcomes and prevention
- Analyze and value various policy options and trade offs
- Identify policy levers
- Formulate conceptual frameworks and strategies
