COMPLIANCE MANUAL:
The Emergency Management Compliance Manual: A Guide to The Joint Commission Standards helps you cut through the confusion related to the new emergency management chapter of the accreditation manual and provides best practices to help you prepare for 2009.
The Emergency Management Compliance Manual will help you to:
- Understand the strategies of emergency management
- Define an emergency and the hazard vulnerability analysis (e.g., EM.01.01.01)
- Create emergency operations plans using the six critical areas (e.g., EM.02.02.01 through EM.02.02.15)
- Conduct emergency management exercises (e.g., EM.03.01.01)
This brand-new chapter changes the way hospitals look at emergency management, and if you haven’t heard from your CEO about it, you will. This manual and CD-ROM set has the answers you need to be prepared for the challenges that lie ahead.
Trusted safety professional and author Thomas J. Huser, MS, CHSP, strategically outlines the new changes and provides his expertise through compliance tips and advice. Safety officers and emergency management coordinators alike will use this reference on a daily basis to create policies and procedures to comply with this new chapter.
VIDEO TRAINING TOOL:
Emergency Management Training for Frontline Staff: Protect Your Facility and Comply with The Joint Commission is a DVD training tool that teaches your frontline staff how to prepare and meet the challenges for The Joint Commission’s six critical areas of emergency management.
This video features exclusive advice from Joseph Cappiello, President and CEO of Simulation Education Services and the former vice president of field operations for The Joint Commission, who helped write the revised emergency management standards that went into effect in 2008. Through Cappiello’s comments and footage of actual emergency drill training, your frontline staff members will feel more prepared to handle response activities and disaster exercise requirements.
The Joint Commission’s revised emergency management standards focus on six critical areas that hospitals not only must observe, but that surveyors will ask about. In our DVD, each of these six critical areas is broken into five-minute segments, with a menu option that makes it easy to go directly to the sections you want to view.
Provide quality emergency training to your frontline staff members so they understand their roles during the following six critical aspects of emergency response:
- Communication
- Managing resources and assets
- Ensuring their safety and security
- Knowing their response-specific responsibilities
- Managing utilities
- Monitoring patient and support activities
Emergency Management Training for Frontline Staff includes a bonus CD-ROM with the following tools, forms, and articles to help you better train frontline staff, such as a sample:
- Checklist for emergency power preparedness
- Tabletop exercise for pandemic influenza
- Disaster cart inventory checklist
Simply insert the bonus CD-ROM into a compatible computer and with a few clicks, you’ll have ready-made training documents and analysis to use in your facility.
