RESPONSIBILITIES During an emergency, the Hospital Incident Command System (HICS) will be in place. The staff has been trained in NIMS and the HICS system. The Environment of Care/Emergency Management Committee Vital to successful planning for any disaster is the identification and tasking of a select group of multidisciplinary hospital representatives to become members of the hospital's Emergency Management Committee. Involving local agencies such as police, fire/emergency medical services, emergency management, and public health in committee deliberations helps clarify roles and responsibilities and encourage personal networking. This familiarization will help promote much needed priority setting, information-sharing, and joint decision-making during a real incident. The committee meets regularly and consists of clinical and non-clinical representatives from key departments and functioning units of the facility. The chairperson sets each meeting's agenda and facilitates the committee's work to achieve an annually established set of objectives. Subcommittees or task groups are appointed to accomplish identified projects or to plan training and exercises as needed. Minutes of each meeting are to be published and disseminated as necessary. |
