  2. Healthcare System Preparedness • Healthcare System Recovery • Emergency Operations Coordination • Fatality Management • Information Sharing • Medical Surge • Responder Safety and Health • Volunteer Management HPP Capabilities 2013

  3. The ability of a community's healthcare system to prepare to, respond, and recover from incidents that have a public health and medical impact • The healthcare system role in community preparedness involves coordination with • emergency management • public health • mental/behavioral health providers • community and faith-based partners • state, local, and territorial governments Healthcare System Preparedness 2013

  4. Involves the collaboration with Emergency Management and other community partners, (e.g., public health, business, and education) • Develop efficient processes and advocate for the rebuilding of public health, medical, and mental/behavioral health systems to functioning comparable to pre-incident levels • The focus is an effective and efficient return to normalcy or a new standard of normalcy for the provision of healthcare delivery to the community. Healthcare System Recovery 2013

  5. Ability for healthcare organizations to engage with incident management at the Emergency Operations Center or with on-scene incident management during an incident • Coordinate information and resource allocation for affected healthcare organizations through multi-agency coordination representing healthcare organizations and emergency management • Integrate this coordination into plans and protocols (EOP; resource allocation plans) that guide incident management to make the appropriate decisions • Ensure that the healthcare organizations, incident management, and the public have relevant and timely information about the status of the healthcare delivery system and integrate that into community response and according to the framework of the National Incident Management System (NIMS). Emergency Operations Coordination 2013

  6. Ability to coordinate with organizations such as law enforcement, healthcare, emergency management, and medical examiner/coroner) • Ensure the proper recovery, handling, identification, transportation, tracking, storage, and disposal of human remains and personal effects • Certify cause of death • Facilitate access to mental/behavioral health services for family members, responders, and survivors of an incident • Coordination also includes the proper and culturally sensitive storage of human remains during periods of increased deaths at healthcare organizations Fatality Management 2013

  7. Ability to conduct multijurisdictional, multidisciplinary exchange of public health and medical related information and situational awareness between the healthcare system and local, state, Federal, tribal and territorial levels of government and the private sector • Includes the sharing of healthcare information through routine coordination with the Joint Information System for dissemination to the local, state and Federal levels of government and the community. Information Sharing 2013

  8. Ability to provide adequate medical evaluation and care during incidents that exceed the limits of the normal medical infrastructure within the community • Ability of healthcare organizations to evacuate, shelter-in place and/or survive an all-hazards incident • Ability of healthcare organizations to maintain or rapidly recover operations that were compromised • Includes Federal concept of Immediate Bed Availability (IBA) for inpatient facilities Medical Surge 2013

  9. Responder Safety and Health • Ability of healthcare organizations to protect the safety and health of healthcare workers from a variety of hazards during emergencies and disasters. • Includes processes to equip, train, and provide other resources needed to ensure healthcare workers at the highest risk for adverse exposure, illness, and injury, are adequately protected from all hazards during response and recovery operations. 2013

  10. Ability to coordinate medical and lay volunteers to support healthcare organizations and mass shelters with medical preparedness and response to incidents and events • Identify and recruit volunteers • Register and verify credentials in ESAR-VHP registry • Train, engage, and retain volunteers • Coordinate, deploy, and demobilize volunteers Volunteer Management 2013

Coalition Description 2013

  13. for 2013

  14. MISSION Improve the capability of local and regional health care systems to manage mass casualty eventsIntegrate preparedness activities across disciplines and agenciesEnhance medical surge capacity and capabilityFoster cooperation between and among member health care facilities . 2013

  15. MISSION • During Response • Situational Awareness • Information Sharing • Resource Sharing • Strategy Coordination • DuringPreparedness: • Enhance Preparedness • Enhance Resilience 2013

  16. ROLE OF REGIONAL COALITIONS – Tier 2 The HCC must have a baseline operational capability that is always available to receive initial information about an emergency and rapidly notify Coalition member organizations. This baseline capability does not need to be time or resource intensive. The Healthcare Coalition then mobilizes and activates processes for response using a medical Multiagency Coordination System (MAC System) that supports, but does not supplant, the incident response activities of individual healthcare organizations (Tier 1) and jurisdictional authorities (Tier 3).

  17. DESIGN Participating organizations maintain their respective decision-making sovereignty during incident response, except in unusual circumstances that warrant the implementation of local or state health authorities (e.g., enactment of isolation or quarantine).Participating organizations determine individually how they will respond to an incident and whether they will activate any emergency response procedures. The Coalition does not supplant this responsibility.The Healthcare Coalition response organization may convene (often virtually) representatives from its member organizations to discuss response issues. Decisions made by the Coalition during incident response are made on consensus basis or are recommendations only.
