Today’s Objectives
• Outline the administrative needs in disaster response
• Describe the US integrated disaster response system– NIMS
• Delineate how hospitals fit into the structure• Describe typical hospital emergency
preparedness activities• Discuss examples of typical responses
![Page 3: Sshs lecture admin in disaster](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5564212ad8b42a73298b4d69/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Federal StructureBottom Up Approach
• Individuals, Households, – Private Sector, NGOs– Emergency Preparedness
Starts Here!
• Local Officials– Primary Responsibility for Preparedness &
Response
• States– Governor, Homeland Security Advisor, EMA,
State Coordinating Officer (SCO)– Coordinates Resources & Support from other
States & Federal Government

Hospital StructureThere are three groups of the administrative structure:
Administration
Nursing
Ancillary
Physicians and Licensed Independent Practitioners

• Cyber Incident
• Nuclear/Radiological/Chemical Incident
• Mass Evacuation Incident
![Page 12: Sshs lecture admin in disaster](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5564212ad8b42a73298b4d69/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Incident Command System (ICS)
• Originated 1970s– Fire service based
• Tested in multiple disasters
• Similar organization across all responders
– NIMS: National Incident Management System
– Joint Commission
![Page 13: Sshs lecture admin in disaster](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5564212ad8b42a73298b4d69/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
ICS Purposes• Using management best practices, ICS helps to
ensure:– The safety of providers and others.– The achievement of tactical objectives.– The efficient use of resources.
• Flexible based on complexity of the incident
![Page 14: Sshs lecture admin in disaster](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5564212ad8b42a73298b4d69/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Who should be Incident Commander?
![Page 19: Sshs lecture admin in disaster](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5564212ad8b42a73298b4d69/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Training
FEMA IS – 100, 200,700
IS- 800
Advanced IS – 300, 400
![Page 20: Sshs lecture admin in disaster](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5564212ad8b42a73298b4d69/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Training, Credentialing, and Exercising– Do you have sufficient qualified
personnel to assume ICS Command and General Staff positions?
– Can you verify that personnel meet established professional standards for:• Training?• Experience?• Performance?
– When was the last tabletop or functional exercise that practiced command and coordination functions? Did you participate in that exercise?
![Page 21: Sshs lecture admin in disaster](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5564212ad8b42a73298b4d69/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Chief Executive
• Delegate Command Authority to Incident Commander.
• Provide Policy Guidance on Priorities and Strategic Direction based on situational needs.
• Provide Financial Authority and Restrictions.• Provide Reporting Requirements• Provide Guidance on Demographic and Political
Implications
![Page 22: Sshs lecture admin in disaster](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5564212ad8b42a73298b4d69/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Incident Command
• The activities at the Command Center (such as a Hospital Command Center-HCC) are directed by the Incident Commander (IC)
• IC has overall responsibility for all activities within the HCC
• The IC may appoint other Command Staff personnel to assist as the situation and resources warrant
![Page 23: Sshs lecture admin in disaster](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5564212ad8b42a73298b4d69/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Building Command & Staff Depth
• Three to five persons should be trained for each command position in case a prolonged response is required
• Training and exercises should be used as a means of preparing personnel to competently and confidently assume one or more roles based on situational need and available resources.
• Completion of the specified NIMS courses, either online or in the classroom, should help to prepare those persons likely to assume command roles.
![Page 24: Sshs lecture admin in disaster](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5564212ad8b42a73298b4d69/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Special ICS Issues
• Unified command– Possible working with outside agencies
![Page 25: Sshs lecture admin in disaster](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5564212ad8b42a73298b4d69/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Emergency Operations PlanComponents
• Activation & Termination of EOP, HCC, ICS• Integration with Community ICS & Partners
– Status/Capacity, Resource Sharing, Patient Tracking/Management, Event Management
• HCC Specific ICS Job Action Sheets & Forms– Only those that may be activated by your facility.
• Relevant Annexes, Policies & Procedures– Based on HVA top priorities (3-5)– Surge Capacity, Pan Flu, Evacuation, Mass Fatality, Evacuation, etc.– Incident Response Guides (IRGs).– 96 Hour Capability
• Recovery– Return to Normal Operations– Event Evaluation
![Page 26: Sshs lecture admin in disaster](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5564212ad8b42a73298b4d69/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
EOP – Critical Function Areas
• Staffing– Staff Roles & Responsibilities– Reporting Instructions– Training– Acceptance & Use of Staff from other
Healthcare Organizations– Acceptance & Use of Volunteers– Workforce Identification
![Page 27: Sshs lecture admin in disaster](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5564212ad8b42a73298b4d69/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Hazard Vulnerability Analysis
• Required Annually• Systematic Approach for Recognizing
Hazards• The Risks of each Hazard are Analyzed
– Prioritizes Planning, Mitigation, Response, & Recovery Activities.
• Serves as the “Needs Assessment” for the Emergency Management Program.
• Should Involve Community Partners.

MCI Hospital Response• ED empties of all noncritical patients
– Move into hospital all admission– D/C stable patients
• Critical patient flow should be unidirectional– ED, critical studies, ICU or OR
• Operate in minimalist mode– Defer tests not immediately mandatory
![Page 30: Sshs lecture admin in disaster](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5564212ad8b42a73298b4d69/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Individual Responsibilities
![Page 31: Sshs lecture admin in disaster](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5564212ad8b42a73298b4d69/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Response
• Have a pre-existing plan for family emergencies, medicines, child and pet care
• Respond When Requested or spontaneous?
• Establish a Location & Point of Contact– Hospitals need to pre-designate
![Page 32: Sshs lecture admin in disaster](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5564212ad8b42a73298b4d69/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
ED Initial Response
• ED Organizes– Security!!
– Red (Immediate, Critical)
– Yellow (Intermediate, Delayed)
– Green (Minor, Ambulatory)
– Triage area set up
– Disaster Registration commences
– Form treatment teams for Red• Physician, nurse, ancillary
![Page 33: Sshs lecture admin in disaster](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5564212ad8b42a73298b4d69/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Hospital Admin Response
• Hospital Command Center Opens– Coordinate Response– Push out resources
• Labor Pool
• Supplies
– Family Center– Behavioral Health Area– Morgue
![Page 34: Sshs lecture admin in disaster](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5564212ad8b42a73298b4d69/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
HCC Response
• Send staff and beds to ED
• Set up labor pool
– ICU and PACU personnel ideal
– Cross train
• Floor teams discharge all appropriate patients
– Use discharge holding area
![Page 35: Sshs lecture admin in disaster](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5564212ad8b42a73298b4d69/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
MCI Hospital Phases: Chaos
• Duration: minutes to hours
• Poor communications
• Minimal and unreliable information
• Implement disaster plan, reorganize resources
• Staff checks on family well being
![Page 36: Sshs lecture admin in disaster](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5564212ad8b42a73298b4d69/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Casualty Receiving
• Duration: few hours
• Hospital resources limited to on hand only
• Operate in damage control mode, limited treatment of life and limb threatening injuries to maximize surge
![Page 37: Sshs lecture admin in disaster](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5564212ad8b42a73298b4d69/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Consolidation
• Duration: about 24 hours
• All casualties received
• Restock supplies
• Tally patients and prioritize surgeries
• Rotate staff
![Page 38: Sshs lecture admin in disaster](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5564212ad8b42a73298b4d69/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Phases continued
• Definitive Care: weeks– Further surgeries as needed
• Rehabilitation: months
![Page 39: Sshs lecture admin in disaster](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5564212ad8b42a73298b4d69/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
IEDs
• Highest FBI ranked terrorist threat in USA• Easily made devices (recipes on the web)• Primary bombing
– Maximize casualties and PR impact– Closed spaces
• Secondary devices common– Aimed at first responders
• Hospitals targeted overseas
![Page 40: Sshs lecture admin in disaster](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5564212ad8b42a73298b4d69/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Hospital Trauma Capacity
• 1 critical patient/100 beds – normal operations
• 2-3 critical patients/100 beds – maximal response
• A hospital ramp up requires 30-60 minutes
