Programs address the EM Cycle (preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation phases of emergent events). Whether small in nature (chemical spills) or large in scale (hurricanes and natural disasters or terrorist incidents) staff provide both training and response capabilities to assist with a \u201creturn to normal\u201d operation.<\/h5>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Disaster planning is challenging for many hospitals to undertake. It is a time-consuming and arduous task to develop a comprehensive emergency management plan that is truly functional and regulatory complaint. Most hospitals recognize the need to update their plan as well as develop new event-specific plans, but don’t have the necessary internal expertise, resources, time or budget to devote to such a project. We are committed to changing that status by bringing comprehensive emergency management planning within reach to all hospitals through a time-proven system that combines planning tools and consultative expertise to create a functional, living document that enhances readiness.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_tabs][vc_tta_section title=”Severe Weather Plan ” tab_id=”1486836519343-778c2877-2d1d”][vc_column_text]Severe weather encompasses any weather-related event\u2014tornado, severe thunderstorm, hurricane, flood, winter storm, temperature extremes\u2014that poses a risk to life and property or impacts hospital operations.<\/p>\n

The Severe Weather Plan is a planning document that augments the hospital’s existing Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) and incorporates the fundamental principles of all-hazards emergency management. Safety of patients, staff, and visitors and property protection are topics covered across a variety of weather hazards with specific considerations included for mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_text_separator title=”Overview”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]The hospital forms a cross-functional, multi-disciplinary planning team that can be actively engaged for the duration of the project. The Severe Weather Plan development process leverages a highly-collaborative planning model that is facilitated by a series of remote and\/or onsite consultation and utilizes a proprietary planning tool that focuses on:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Preventing or minimizing the loss of life and injuries<\/li>\n
  • Ensuring patient and personnel safety<\/li>\n
  • Maintaining optimal patient care and life support functions during severe weather emergencies<\/li>\n
  • Integrating the hospital\u2019s preparedness, response, and recovery efforts with those of its community and supporting entities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \nWe help hospitals implement HICS in a cost-effective and efficient manner. The complete HICS program consists of various offerings ranging from initial to advanced training, executive leadership instruction, and hospital command center training to online education and customized exercises. With proper HICS training and preparedness, chaos during an incident is minimized, normal operations resume sooner, the cost of the event is monitored, safety is maximized, and there is more efficient use of personnel.[\/vc_column_text][vc_text_separator title=”Overview”][vc_column_text]We have provided training and education to personnel from many healthcare facilities including rural, critical access and community hospital, military and trauma centers, specialty hospitals and skilled nursing facilities, and public health and home agencies.

          \nOSHA requires that hospitals provide ongoing training (Awareness, Operations, and Refresher) to personnel who are expected to decontaminate or interact with contaminated victims.[\/vc_column_text][vc_text_separator title=”Overview”][vc_column_text]Sustaining this capability is a challenge for any program or response capability that is used infrequently and intended to persevere over time. Our goal is to help hospitals attain a real, working level of decontamination preparedness and then support that effort over time \u2013 a task we have done successfully for over 15 years.<\/p>\n

What happens when instead of supporting first responders during an emergency, the hospital itself needs to be evacuated?[\/vc_column_text][vc_text_separator title=”Overview”][vc_column_text]Hospital Evacuation is a multi-faceted process that involves more than simply moving patients from Point A to Point B. It requires a coordination of patients, personnel, movement teams, and outside resources as well as the efficient use of patient assessment tools, documentation forms, and mobility equipment. A successful evacuation capability must be built upon an incident management foundation that is well understood and is easily scalable.<\/p>\n

              We help your hospital build this foundation by offering a complete Evacuation Preparedness Program that includes comprehensive evacuation training, evacuation planning, and evacuation exercises.
