Unfortunately, hospitals are often underprepared for large-scale emergencies-whether due to lack of funding or lack of expertise. Although planning for these what-ifs can take a backseat to day-to-day operations, having an adequate emergency management plan is a crucial factor in patient outcomes. The field of emergency management is constantly changing. The dynamic nature of threats and resources means the appropriate response to emergencies regularly varies. Having a management plan in place for all phases and types of disasters is important-and is now legally required by the Joint Commission. This comprehensive manual lays out an approach for each component of planning-spanning roles from administration to security personnel and beyond. With careful study, each hospital can conduct a vulnerability analysis as the first step in creating an effective response plan. While the likeliness of a serious disaster may seem small, can we afford not to be ready? Whether the issue is internal, like electrical failure, or external, like extreme weather, many lives will depend on a local hospital's efficient reaction. Author Robert J. Muller, MD, CEM-a FEMA Level III incident commander-offers in this guide the gold mine of his forty-five years of expertise in emergency management.
