As part of America's vital health infrastructure, hospitals and healthcare facilities play a key role in disaster readiness throughout the country. Power failures, disease outbreaks and natural disasters are just a few things that can significantly affect or disrupt hospital and clinic operations.
Prior to an actual disaster, it is crucial that hospitals establish emergency procedures that address a variety of situations, inclusive of purchasing emergency equipment and supplies and having an effective and reliable communication system that can quickly and efficiently activate personnel and ensure patient safety.
Listen as NYU Medical Center, San Francisco VA Hospital, and the International Association for Healthcare Security and Safety discuss the best practices for hospital emergency preparedness.
