Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment: State updates to the Crisis Standard of Care Guidelines. Crisis standards of care are recommendations for how the medical community should allocate scarce resources, such as ventilators and intensive care unit beds, in the extreme case when patient needs exceed available resources. In dire circumstances where resources become limited, the Governor or a designated public health official may declare a Public Health Emergency within which crisis standards of care are authorized, sanctioning the provision of medical care at levels of quality that would otherwise be significantly less than optimal.
