STATE EMERGENCY REGISTRY OF VOLUNTEERS AND
HEALTHCARE PERSONNEL IN DELAWARE (SERVDE)


What is SERVDE:		The SERVDE is an automated registration system that 
			establishes and certifies the qualifications of 	
			volunteers and healthcare personnel for Delaware prior 
			to and during an emergency.  SERVDE is the State 	
			component of the federal Emergency System for Advance 
			Registration of Volunteer Health Professionals (ESAR-	
			VHP).  The system verifies the identity, credentials, 
			licenses, and training of volunteers and other 		
			healthcare personnel.  To respond to regional and 	
			national disasters, other states have similar ESAR-VHP 
			systems.

Why:			SERVDE was developed to eliminate significant problems
			encountered when seeking to utilize healthcare 		
			volunteers in a complex emergency response situation.

How it works:		The SERVDE registration system, launched in January 2008:

			*	Registers and collects personal and professional 
			data to enable emergency credentialing on a secure, 
			web-based application available 24/7.

			*	Issues credentials by validating licenses with primary 
			and secondary sources, such as the Division of Professional 
			Regulation, American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) 
			and the American Osteopathic Information Association (AOIA).

			*	Manages Delaware Medical Reserve Corps volunteers, 
			State Health Operation Center staff and Division of Public Health 
			staff as needed.  System searches can be completed by type of 
			profession; by specific mission; and by personnel resource criteria 
			to manage requests. 

			*	Deploys volunteers through its own internal Notification 
			Module 18666098029.
