This collection of patient profiles will help you drill for any scenario that might confront your facility and allow you to test your EOP.

Emergency preparedness expert and author Mary Russell, EdD, MSN, designed these patients with front-line emergency receivers in mind. Each template is designed to teach staff how to make quick, informed decisions about patient care based on visual and clinical information. And best of all, you don't have to waste valuable hours creating patient profiles for every drill you run - just adapt ours to fit your needs!

The set comes in three types of fully electronic, customizable patients:

Triage Paper Patients provide disaster exercise participants with visual cues, such as a victim's relative age, level of consciousness, and ability to sit or stand. Hospitals can mass produce these patients to stress the facility's surge capabilities and triage process for an influx of patients during a drill.
Disaster Paper Patients show individuals involved in specific scenarios, such as chemical spills, or mass-casualty incidents. These patients come with pre-populated clinical presentations that you can modify to fit the needs of your exercises.
Everyday Paper Patients simulate typical emergency room patients that will continue to present to your facility, even during a disaster. Similar to the Disaster Paper Patients, these patients come with pre-populated clinical presentations that you can modify to fit the needs of your exercises You can also customize the symptoms to fit your specific drill, giving you the opportunity to prepare for an infinite number of scenarios.

You'll receive more than 80 Paper Patients in all via download, each presenting unique symptoms and clinical presentations. The patients' conditions can be upgraded or downgraded, and their symptoms will change based on your preferences. The goal is to help your facility prepare so it can handle the real thing when it happens.

Paper patients allow you to:

• Satisfy Joint Commission requisites for testing your EOP
• Conduct disaster drills at your facility, even if you do not have enough volunteers to simulate the real thing
• Encounter a realistic variety of patients - from the ones you are "expecting" that arrive via ambulance, to the ones who come to the hospital on their own
• Customize your patients and control their clinical presentations

The Paper Patients are available via downloadable Word files and are the perfect training tool to put your EOP and your staff to the test

• 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.

Disaster Event scenarios
Emergency preparedness is constantly evolving, and to be effective, your drill scenarios need to incorporate the latest advancements in the field. These event scenarios take you through four overarching disaster incidents - mass casualty, radiological, chemical, and biological. Each scenario gives you detailed information on the type of incident, typical patient presentations, special considerations, and the type of resources and support your facility will need to respond to them. Use these event scenarios to build effective drills and test your EOP. Drill scenarios are an exclusive benefit of purchasing the Emergency Preparedness Solutions: Emergency Operations Plan Bundle. They are not available for individual sale.
