Each of the following slides explains a key step in applying the Transitional Medical Model to a jurisdiction and testing it using the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) cycle. Introduction
Convene Planning Workshop with Key Stakeholders to Develop TMM • Key Stakeholders: Local Public Health, Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities, EMS/EMA • Review TMM Documents • Develop jurisdiction-specific TMM using blank template
Educate Stakeholders • Key Stakeholders conduct TMM seminars for their user groups • End-users from Local Public Health, Hospitals/Healthcare Facilities, and EMS/EMA learn how to use the TMM
Select Exercise Planning Team from Stakeholders • The EPT is responsible for designing, developing, conducting, and evaluating all aspects of an exercise • Customize the TMM Table Top exercise for the jurisdiction • Facilitate and Evaluate the exercise
Conduct Facilitator and Evaluator Training • Complete Data fields for jurisdiction • Download Situation Manual, Exercise Evaluation Guides, and TTX slide presentation • Conduct Evaluator and Facilitator Training
Conduct TMM Table Top Exercise • Using plenary methodology, the Players discuss their agency’s role and response to the scenario presented based on the Transitional Medical Model • Moderated discussions allow for the participants to hear the outcomes of the various facilitated discussions that have taken place at the functional and agency level • All participants contribute feedback during the Hot Wash
Draft After Action Report • Based on data collected by the Evaluation Team and feedback provided during the Hot Wash and the Facilitator/Evaluator Debriefing an After Action Report is drafted • Analysis of Capabilities • Recommendations for improvement • Capture of “Best Practices” • The AAR Template will be used for this step
