Emergency Preparedness and Healthcare Coalitions

Four Phases of Emergency Management
Preparedness Phase: Learning Objectives
• Obtain a basic understanding of the Incident Command System (ICS) • How you can prepare to implement three major Response strategies:
Evacuation, Lockdown, and Shelter-in-Place
• Consider Continuity of Operations plans • Evaluate available community resources that you might needed
during Response to an emergency and preparing for Recovery • Examine communication procedures to be used during an emergency,
and redundant means of communication

Goal: Healthcare System Preparedness
• Healthcare system preparedness is the ability of a community’s healthcare system to prepare, respond, and recover from incidents that have a public health and medical impact in the short and long term. (defined by CDC)
• How can healthcare coalitions help their healthcare organizations to achieve preparedness? How can healthcare coalitions assist healthcare organizations prepare for disasters?
Healthcare Preparedness Guidance
• The Healthcare Preparedness Capabilities, National Guidance for Healthcare System Preparedness, was released in March, 2012
• This document provides direction for Healthcare Coalition development
• Addressed in Capability 1 and collaborative planning for the healthcare system is the basis for healthcare coalitions
Healthcare System Preparedness Functions
1. Develop, refine, or sustain Healthcare Coalitions. 2. Coordinate healthcare planning to prepare the healthcare system
for a disaster, through healthcare coalitions. 3. Identify and prioritize essential healthcare assets and services,
through healthcare coalitions. 4. Determine gaps in the healthcare preparedness and identify
resources for mitigation of these gaps, through healthcare coalitions.
5. Coordinate training to assist healthcare responders to develop the necessary skills in order to respond, through healthcare coalitions.
6. Improve healthcare response capabilities through coordinated exercise and evaluation, through healthcare coalitions.
7. Coordinate with planning for at-risk individuals and those with special medical needs, through healthcare coalitions.
What is a Healthcare Coalition?
Healthcare Coalitions are multi-agency coordinating groups that assist Emergency Management and Emergency Support Function (ESF) #8 with preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation activities related to public health and medical disaster operations.
Purpose of a Healthcare Coalition
Healthcare Coalitions can help healthcare organizations to plan together for preparedness, response, and recovery; the can find and connect needed resources, and use them in the most efficient manner. Healthcare coalitions also give you access to beneficial community partners
Healthcare Coalitions’ Roles
It is understood that while some healthcare coalitions take an active role in healthcare operations, others are in support and coordination positions only.
All tasks can be read or adjusted to account for coalitions’ coordination rather than direct actions.
Healthcare Coalition Partners • Public Health • Hospitals and Clinics • Emergency Management • Emergency Medical Services • Long Term Care • Skilled Nursing facilities • Community Clinics • Mental and Behavioral Health • Community and Faith Based
Organizations • Volunteer Organizations • Businesses
• Human Services • Medical Examiners and
Coroners • Trauma Councils • Schools • And many, many more!

Disaster
Healthcare Coalitions: Follow the steps of the Preparedness Cycle to effectively mitigate, respond and recover from a disaster
DISASTER CYCLE Healthcare Coalitions: Assist HCOs within their region to return to normal healthcare delivery operations
Healthcare Coalitions: Integrate with ESF8 to coordinate healthcare organizations’ priorities and needs to assist incident management with resource and information management during response.
Healthcare Coalitions: Address areas in critical infrastructure and key resource allocation planning that decreases the vulnerability of the healthcare delivery system

Capabilities CONCEPT of HCC Response
So how does the Coalition help me? • Multi-Agency planning and assistance • Knowing your response community • Community support during emergencies • Possible additional Funding opportunities • Hazard Vulnerability Identification • Joint Risk Assessment Planning • Emergency Operations Planning assistance / support • You become an asset to them as much as they are an
asset to you! – You’ve got staff, space (alternate care sites?), supplies, energy
and support! Plus you know the rural communities
Emergency Operations Plan
• Assigns responsibility to organizations and individuals
• Sets forth lines of authority • Describes how people and property will be
protected • Identifies personnel, equipment, facilities,
supplies, and other resources
