This panel has been approved for 1.5 ACHE Virtual Face-to-Face credits.   In the best of circumstances, healthcare organizations operate in a complex environment. This can be exacerbated when a community faces a local or national emergency, either natural, human-caused, or technological, that thrusts the healthcare system to the forefront of response and makes it the focus of recovery efforts. It is critical that the local healthcare community be actively engaged in the development of comprehensive emergency preparedness plans, training, and exercises to ensure that local organizations communicate and coordinate their mutual support in service to the community.   Moderator:  Matt Richardson, DrPH, MPH, FACHE :

Check out FEMA’s latest National Preparedness Report for a data-driven picture of national preparedness and emergency management trends. This includes focused discussions on four core capabilities: Fire Management and Suppression; Logistics and Supply Chain Management; Public Health, Healthcare, and Emergency Medical Services; and Long-Term Vulnerability Reduction. The report identifies the challenges that emergency managers face in addressing a changing risk environment and how they can meet those challenges to help achieve a more prepared nation. This annual report offers all levels of government, tribes, the private and nonprofit sectors and the public practical insights into preparedness that support decisions about program priorities, resource allocations and actions that can create more resilient communities.

Do you know your point of contact in an emergency?! This week I had the honor to attend the North Carolina Disaster Symposium that was hosted by my group, Eastern Healthcare Preparedness Coalition (EHPC) and Southeastern Healthcare Preparedness Coalition (SHPR). Both groups do such amazing work and the talent and coordination it takes to plan these every year truly amazes me. I could make a very length post about the incredible speakers but it would honestly be way too long. Topics ranged from handling communication errors, handling large complex medical systems in different states that require different care, fires and handling those high stress issues, shootings, and even a massive large scale exercises that truly prepare you for a real life event! The themes that really stuck out are communication and building bonds with community and leaders. Through everything, if you have that bond with leaders, they will have your back. A bond with your community and resources and a village will come respond! Another one is, are you prepared? Do you have a plan? Even if you have it on paper situations might deviate or new threats may pop up so are you able to adapt and continue to move forward to mitigate effects and get the situation under control? It’s always great to try and act out the situation if you can as well to see how things would work out and if there are any gaps that need to be addressed. The main point that I’d like to say is, if there is an emergency, do you know who to call and what you’re EAP is? If you’re a hospital, do you know the number of your emergency manager or healthcare coalition contacts? If you don’t I would strongly suggest forming a bond with these amazing people. Know your contacts, have a paper copy of important numbers and names written somewhere, and have a copy of your plan ready to go.

Healthcare emergency managers, often unsung heroes, intricately navigate crises, including natural disasters and outbreaks, to ensure hospital resilience. Their role spans planning, response coordination, and recovery efforts, aiming for continuity of care. They collaborate with diverse teams, conduct risk assessments, and develop emergency plans tailored to organizational needs. In emergencies, they efficiently deploy resources, establish command structures, and manage logistics. Post-crisis, they assess impacts, restore services, and drive continuous improvement through evaluations and updated plans. Armed with deep knowledge, interpersonal skills, and adaptability, healthcare emergency managers contribute significantly to building resilient healthcare organizations, capable of overcoming diverse challenges during emergencies and disasters. https://lnkd.in/eUrD7EKD

The coordination between public health and emergency management is a critical component of planning for threats facing the community. Finding ways to align activities based on the different capabilities within the Public Health Emergency Preparedness, Hospital Preparedness Program, and FEMA Missions Areas allows for better collaboration to ensure effectiveness in planning. The need to better address capabilities during exercises and in after action reports is also a critical aspect of collaboration. Developing crosswalks which in public health can be done from the PHEP Domains is one step to take that begins the process to evaluate the needs of future planning between the different disciplines.
