This webinar will cover disaster preparedness, contingency and emergency response plans, and emergency system maintenance considerations.

Speakers: Steve Spaanbroek, Hank Wheeler & Mark Etheridge When natural disasters challenge the delivery of patient care, the infrastructure of a health care facility becomes more important than ever. In this session, two individuals whose health care facilities were severely affected by natural disasters will discuss how their organizations prepared for, responded to, and are now planning ahead for out-of-the ordinary events — be it a storm, a rapid influx of patients, or the failure of a utility that supports the facility.

Lessons learned from the perspective of health care facility managers, clinicians, and executive staff Speaker: ASHE In 2011 a tornado in Joplin, Missouri, devastated a community, including Mercy hospital. Mercy’s incredible story offers an opportunity to assess your facility’s emergency preparedness and to use their lessons learned to better prepare for potential future emergencies.
