Full Building Evacuation
During an emergency, a disorganized evacuation can result in confusion, injury, and property damage. We will work with you to assess your current full building evacuation (FBE) plan, design site-specific procedures for planned and unscheduled evacuations, and ensure readiness with on-site health care emergency training. The plan will comply with the latest CMS Emergency Preparedness regulations.
Mutual Aid Program Development
Mutual Aid is an agreement across municipal agencies and/or health care facilities that allows communities and regions to support one other when their resources are stretched beyond normal capacity. We assist in developing programs to coordinate emergency preparedness in healthcare facilities, local emergency operations groups, response teams, and first responders in evaluating staffing needs, on-site and off-site response capabilities, programmatic procedures and other resource needs. We also have developed innovative technology solutions that assist healthcare partners to rapidly share information, resources and personnel when preparing for or responding to a local or regional emergency event
Emergency Preparedness Plans (EPP) for Long Term Care
We provide customizable organization plans to ensure that your EPP addresses current best practices, takes into account the available resources of the facility, and meets regulatory and licensure requirements. This includes the four (4) Core Elements of the Emergency Preparedness Requirements for CMS:
- Annual Risk Assessment and Emergency Planning
- Communication Plan
- Emergency Preparedness Policies and Procedures that must be maintained and, at a minimum, reviewed annually
- Training and Testing, complying with Federal and State regulation
Surge Capacity
When emergencies impact hospital bed demand, facilities look for ways to manage a sudden influx of patients. Whether it’s an internal surge from a disaster, a pandemic, another healthcare facility evacuating or a mass casualty incident, our action-oriented tools, technology and training will improve your decision-making process for disaster response.
