Press Release
Health and Human Services
HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt today announced the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has developed a new downloadable online diagnostic and treatment toolkit designed for health care providers, primarily physicians, who may have to provide medical care during a radiation incident.
The new information package includes easy-to-follow procedures for diagnosis and management of radiation contamination and exposure, guidance for the use of radiation medical countermeasures, and a variety of other features to facilitate medical responses. All of this is now available on the Radiation Event Medical Management (REMM) Web site (http://REMM.NLM.GOV).
"The REMM toolkit is part of our effort to improve public health emergency preparedness and response," Secretary Leavitt said. "It reflects the department's commitment to help instill a spirit of preparedness throughout our nation."
