Hospital Safety Symposium coverage: Try tabletop to evaluate 96-hour provisions
Hi folks – It’s Scott Wallask at HCPro checking in from our Hospital Safety Symposium, which kicked off this morning in Las Vegas.
Keynote speaker Dean Samet took the stage about 20 minutes ago and is talking to attendees about The Joint Commission’s 96-hour provisions under EC.4.12. He suggested a good way to evaluate your hospital’s ability to survive on its own for up to 96 hours is to hold a tabletop exercise immediately after one of your regular emergency management drills.
During the tabletop, ask various managers questions such as, "How long would our water supply have lasted during a prolonged emergency?" Samet suggested.
