Developing an Emergency Operations Plan for Healthcare Coalitions
The ask: A state healthcare coalition requested assistance in developing an Emergency Operations Plan for the regional healthcare coalition.
The solution: MDB worked with the coalition to develop a plan that was based on a hazard assessment, reflected local practices, and engaged stakeholders representing emergency management, public health, health care, and emergency medical services. MDB took a process approach to the plan that resulted in a functional document that focused on coalition-wide notification, coordination, communication, situational awareness, and resource management.
Notable outcomes: A fully functional plan that serves as the integrator of all the coalition functions and is the parent document to all specialty annexes for the coalition.
