Plans
New Mexico Department of Health Quality Improvement Plan (2020)
NMSIIS Data Quality Improvement Plan (2020)
A pandemic has the potential to result in large numbers of deaths (estimated between 20,000-25,000 deaths in New Mexico), overwhelming the New Mexico’s mortuary resources, including morgue capacity, medical investigative and forensic personnel, and services available for disposition of bodies. A pandemic is highly likely to produce large numbers of sick people that require care at the same time.
