1. Historical Context for the Emergency Preparedness Rule
A nation, an organization, and an individual can each learn from prior experiences. What went well, and what didn’t? How do we do better in the future? This chapter reviews some of the rationale for the development of a National Incident Management System and for the requirements placed on individual health care providers.
2. Emergency Preparedness Requirements
A collaborative response during an emergency is essential to positive outcomes. Each health care organization has responsibilities to ensure a coordinated effort. This chapter reviews the role of home care and hospice providers during a disaster. We will also interview the executive director of a health care coalition to understand their purpose and how to get a “seat at the table” during community preparedness planning.
3. Core Elements of the Emergency Preparedness Rule
The Emergency Preparedness Rule requires that each health care provider’s emergency plan include, at a minimum, four core elements. This chapter reviews each of these elements and discusses the significance behind each requirement. We will also look at the Incident Command Structure and how home care and hospice can work with and incorporate this structure in their emergency plan.
4. The Emergency Preparedness Plan
This chapter takes a deeper look at each of the core requirements mentioned in the previous chapter / It also discusses the after-action review and reviews when to implement your emergency plan.
