<p>Hospitals must be prepared to respond to public health emergencies that that may create a sudden demand on services. Disaster drills allow hospitals to test response capabilities to these emergencies in real time. This tool can be used by hospitals to identify the most important strengths and weaknesses in disaster drills. The results can be applied to training and drill planning.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This resource abridges a 2004 report. For a comprehensive drill evaluation, the 2004 report should be used. To efficiently identify the most important strengths and weaknesses in hospital disaster drills, the abridged disaster drill evaluation modules should be used.</p>

<p>This tool has been reviewed by the Department of Homeland Security.

DHS's statement follows.</p>
|
|
<p>The Department of Homeland Security, Office for Health Affairs is pleased
|
|
to report that we support the use of the AHRQ publication "Tool
|
|
for Evaluating Core Elements of Hospital Disaster Drills." This
|
|
document has undergone review through our internal processes and has
|
|
been found to be in concurrence with DHS efforts. FEMA reviewers stated, "It
|
|
is a well developed/written tool to assist evaluators that encompasses
|
|
unique components of hospital evaluation, such as those required for
|
|
Joint Commission certification, and complies with the National Incident
|
|
Management System (NIMS) since it includes an evaluation of an Incident
|
|
Command System...The tool provides a certain level of detail of actual
|
|
results, and along with appropriate EEGs and well documented exercise
|
|
timeline, each module provides a good tool to evaluate hospital exercises.
|
|
Equally important, the modules serve as a valuable tool to develop specific
|
|
and measurable exercise objectives."</p>
