Review the description of lyric poetry on page 791. While most risk managers and EOC members may have an understanding of many of the natural hazards their hospital might face (e.g., hospitals in "Tornado Alley" are likely familiar with this hazard), it is wise to do more research. Mitigation activities reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. Disaster Drills and see theChecklist for Disaster Drill Planning. Media coverage of several recent natural disasters highlighted providers who demonstrated little to no advanced emergency planning and woefully inadequate responses, placing patient lives at risk and in some cases resulting in patient deaths. Other possibilities include holding a group discussion led by a facilitator, using a narrated, clinically relevant emergency scenario and a set of problem statements, directed messages, or prepared questions designed to challenge the emergency plan (42 CFR 482.15[d][2][ii][B]).

(3) The unified EOP must include a coordinated communication plan. CMS's CMS requires development of policies and procedures that support the HVA process and the comprehensive implementation of the EOP. The EOC should consider whether to recommend the creation of a separate clinical care committee or subcommittee that would determine how a hospital's resources can be best used to meet community needs and develop clinical policies and procedures required to support the response to an emergency. For example, policies must address providing subsistence needs for staff and patients in case they are expected to shelter in place. Steps in the National Preparedness System include the following: The "whole community" means that the emergency operational plan is guided by two principles: "involving people in the development of national preparedness documents" and "ensuring their roles and responsibilities are reflected in the content of the materials" (FEMA "Whole Community"). EOC membership could include personnel from departments such as the following: Hospitals should have an established EOC to coordinate emergency operation efforts within the hospital or healthcare system, as well as to plan activities with nearby healthcare facilities; local, state, and federal agencies; and others. Other differences include the crossing of jurisdictional boundaries; a more coordinated relationship among public and private sector entities becomes necessary; and performance standards for responding entities change and reflect disaster-relevant priorities. Organizations must have "a system to contact appropriate staff, patients' treating physicians, and other necessary persons in a timely manner to ensure continuation of patient care functions throughout the facilities and to ensure that these functions are carried out in a safe and effective manner."

Organizations should also prepare for maintaining sewage utilities and hazardous waste disposal during emergency events (CMS "Final Rule" 482.15[b][1][ii][D]). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3038369/ PubMed: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21251426 doi: 10.1503/cjs.036910, Milstein K, Rosenbaum S.
