This article highlights influenza pandemic planning by a geriatric facility in order to ensure preparedness for staff, clients and families. The key driver for getting started stemmed from our participation on the Toronto Academic Health Sciences Network (TAHSN) Pandemic Planning Committee. Representation on the facility pandemic planning committee included medicine, nursing, infection prevention and control, occupational health and safety, allied health, pharmacy, purchasing, public affairs, information management, human resources, education and bioethics. Our approach was to develop a high-level plan for each area represented on the committee, followed by a detailed tactical plan, culminating in a table-top simulation exercise to test our plans and identify gaps. Meetings were held with the facilitators to familiarize them with both the organization and the facility's influenza pandemic plan, and finalize the script for the simulation. ./cache/cord-007897-evz3gwac.txt ./txt/cord-007897-evz3gwac.txt
