Beskrivning

Healthcare Emergency Incident Management Operations Guide offers healthcare personnel a quick and intuitive guide to preparing for, responding to and recovering from events which have the potential to impact their operations. The recently updated Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services (CMS) rules for emergency preparedness added 10-15 new healthcare organizations into the mix that require emergency preparedness efforts.

The Hospital Incident Command System (HICS) is a good tool for event management but, like all tools, it requires practice. Many hospital personnel take online ICS courses and rarely practice enough to be proficient. This is a comprehensive guide to the HICS and can be referenced during initial and refresher training as well as during event management.

Covers how to utilize the Hospital incident Command System (HICS) and Incident Action Planning (IAP) processes
Includes Initial Incident Action Plan considerations for common disaster events
Features exercises for initial and refresher training

Recensioner i media

"Author Jan Glarum begins with the history of the incident command systems and goes on to explain the pros and cons of each. He also gives readers a sense of where they should go when developing their own plans and what they should look like. ...Those looking for a healthcare emergency management guide to develop - or refine - an existing program will find this book to be a good starting point." --Security Management
