National Health Security Preparedness Index (NHSPI)

The National Health Security Preparedness Index is a program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The Program Management Office for the Index is based at the University of Kentucky and staffed through a collaboration between the Center for Public Health Systems and Services Research, College of Public Health and the Center for Business and Economic Research, Gatton College of Business and Economics. The National Health Security Preparedness Index examines America's preparedness efforts by looking collectively at the health security preparedness of states. The Index is updated annually to accurately reflect the nation's progress in preparing for, preventing, and responding to potential health incidents.
