The Emergency Operations Plan Template is a fully electronic solution to ensure your staff and your facility has implemented an effective and compliant plan. Framed around the Joint Commission's six critical elements—communications, resources and assets, safety and security, staff responsibilities, utilities, and patient clinical and support activities—this fully customizable document will help you organize your EOP so that it is equally ready for a catastrophic event as it is a Joint Commission surveyor.

Emergency preparedness expert and author Chris Bellone, CEM® CHEP, understands that every hospital's emergency operation plan is different. With more than 80 pages of guidance at your disposal, the Emergency Operations Plan Template can easily be modified to enhance your existing plan or adapted entirely for your facility. References to the Joint Commission standards and elements of performance appear throughout the document, so you can easily demonstrate compliance, and customizable sections are easily identifiable.

The Emergency Operations Plan Template will allow you to:

• Assess your current EOP and identify any weaknesses you need to address
• Customize the template and adjust it to fit to your specific facility
• Demonstrate that your EOP meets Joint Commission requirements
• Consider important decisions ahead of time, such as identifying key decision-makers, cutting nonessential services, and determining evacuation timelines

The point of an EOP is to expect the unexpected. This downloadable template will help your hospital prepare for a number of disaster scenarios that either inhibit your ability to operate, cause a patient surge, or both, including:

• Mass-casualty incidents
• Chemical spills
• Biological outbreaks
• Radiological events

Other features include hazard vulnerability analysis tools, a glossary of terms, incident command charts, and a sample evacuation plan.

• Books
