Description
Hospitals have always had legal, regulatory, and ethical responsibilities to mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies and other events that stress their resources. A 2008 survey of Wisconsin hospitals identified the following barriers to designing emergency exercises:lack of time for planning, lack of training in exercise design, lack of tools/templates, and lack of personnel to assist in the exercise planning process. This session will enable you to
Identify opportunities for improvement learned from past emergency exercises or actual events.
Describe changes in equipment or processes that need to be tested.
