Emergency Preparedness Project Instructions
Scenario
You are a risk management professional at City Hospital, a Joint Commission accredited hospital located in a major metropolitan area in the Midwest. In order to prepare stakeholders for the results and reasoning behind an upcoming risk assessment, the hospital administrator has asked you to prepare a brief describing the fundamentals of emergency preparedness. This brief will be used to inform stakeholders on key concepts in emergency preparedness.
Following that description, the administrator has asked you to select three tools, appropriate to an urban hospital setting, from the Health and Human Services ASPR TRACIE website. Once you have selected three tools for hazard and vulnerability analysis, compare and contrast these tools. Your comparison should address the intended audience of these tools, their use/purpose for healthcare organizations, and the benefits and limitations of each of these tools.
Directions
Your emergency preparedness brief should be written with an audience of internal hospital stakeholders in mind. This brief should address the fundamentals of emergency preparedness in a healthcare setting and prepare stakeholders for oncoming emergency preparedness planning. In your brief, your supervisor has asked that you address the following elements:
Emergency Preparedness Fundamentals: As your brief will be for internal stakeholders, your supervisor has asked you to begin with a high-level overview of emergency preparedness fundamentals. As you construct this brief, address the following elements:
Hazard, Risk, and Vulnerability Analysis: Following your description of emergency preparedness fundamentals, your supervisor has asked you to address the first step in the development of any emergency preparedness policy: the hazard, risk, and vulnerability analysis (HVA). In this section of your brief, your supervisor has asked you to describe the key elements of HVAs and compare three tools used by hospitals to conduct these assessments. Following your comparison, your manager has asked you to recommend one tool, considered in your comparison, for use at City Hospital.
