Emergency Preparedness Plans
An Emergency Preparedness Plan (EPP) is vital for all agencies. By outlining the measures and procedures to be followed in the event of an emergency or disaster, a well formulated EPP can make the difference in preventing loss of life and continuing business operations. Does your agency comply with all state, federal and applicable accrediting organization regulations and standards? More importantly, do you feel prepared for a disaster? If not, HCL can help.
Emergency Preparedness Plans* include:
- A comprehensive risk assessment to identify potential disasters and emergencies
- A continuity of business operation plan
- Policies and procedures to assist you step-by-step in a disaster
- Staff and patient education
- EPP exercise forms and guidance
- Additional forms to help you stay compliant that include disaster coordinator job descriptions, staff in-service sign-in sheets, a patient emergency preparedness information form, printed material to provide to patients, and EPP activation and exercise evaluation forms
