HA 340 - Emergency Preparedness

Natural and manmade disasters have grabbed the headlines in the past few years.  Accrediting, licensing, and regulatory organizations have developed standards for emergency planning for medical providers.   Even when plans are in place, there is often a nagging doubt whether they truly prepare staff for all factors faced in extreme situations.  Health care organizations need skilled leaders to address emergency preparedness and medical disaster planning. Thorough emergency plans and disaster drills can prepare healthcare workers for the potential of an emergency. This course will provide participants with current information on a variety of topics to better address emergency preparedness for healthcare systems before, during, and after disasters.
