Learning from another catastrophe
Hi everyone, it's Scott Wallask logging in today.
I've been reading quite a bit in the past few days about the floods in the central part of the country, some of which have outright closed hospitals. Reminds me a lot of what we saw after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Columbus (IN) Regional Hospital was particularly hard hit and looks to have its doors shuttered for six to eight weeks while staff members and contractors repair the facility.
Columbus Regional's CEO, Jim Bickel, held a series of meetings for his employees on June 13 at a local high school, during which he talked about recovery efforts the hospital was taking and how they affect workers. The facility posted his presentation online, and you may find it an interesting model to review for your own recovery planning in terms of communicating with staff members.
