About This Program: Experts agree that hospital emergency preparedness teams must manage a pandemic event as a "local" outbreak. This informative program addresses lessons learned by groups who have experienced local public health outbreaks, as well as disaster exercise events that could be incorporated into your pandemic planning. Topics covered include: staffing, resources, personnel preparedness, surge capacity, altered standards of care, vaccination clinics, and other key response activities. This one-hour program, written and presented by industry expert and author Peggy Luebbert, will assist hospital administrators; directors of nursing, infection control, materials management, or emergency preparedness; and safety officers update and incorporate improvements into their current emergency pandemic preparedness plans. The information provided will help you streamline the time-consuming process of pandemic planning by providing exercises that lead to improvement in true emergency response, enabling staff to practice their roles and gain experience. Best of all, the process guidelines you will learn can be easily adapted to a wide range of other biological exercise types, scenarios, and resources.
Learning Objectives: At the end of this self-study program you will be able to:
- Describe how a pandemic becomes a local outbreak in a hospital setting.
- List several lessons learned from public health outbreaks and disaster exercises that could affect how hospitals respond to a pandemic.
- Depict key response exercise activities that need to be adapted to prepare for an extended pandemic event.
Suggested Audience: Hospital Administrators, Directors of Nursing, Infection Control Directors, Materials Management Directors, Emergency Preparedness Directors, Safety Officers.
