You are the emergency department manager for a hospital. A recent hazard assessment determined that your organization is located in a particularly vulnerable area for the following natural disasters and emergency situations:
- Emergencies: explosions, pandemics, war
- Natural disasters: earthquakes, extreme heat, tropical cyclones.
Part one:
Introduction: To begin your presentation, you will describe each situation from a healthcare perspective. Consider what healthcare professionals should know about an emergency situation and natural disasters For instance, consider the terminology commonly used by emergency preparedness and response professionals to communicate potential hazards and impacts to the public and to healthcare professionals.
Hazard Analysis: It is essential for healthcare professionals to understand the potential hazards that could directly or indirectly affect people, healthcare personnel, and facilities. In your presentation, you will describe the threats to public health, including potential injuries and illnesses before, during, and after an emergency situation such as explosions, pandemics, war( pick one). Analyze at least one international example , and consider how hazard mitigation and preparedness efforts vary worldwide and, therefore, influence the range and severity of threats to public health.
Preparedness: Preparedness plans address how healthcare staff and facilities will meet the needs of patients if essential resources are impacted as a result of an emergency situation such as explosions, pandemics, war (pick one). For each of the following, you will speak to at least one international example and analyze what resources are needed to provide the appropriate care and services during and after each type of situation.
- Resources: Analyze each situation to determine the resources—including food, water, and shelter—required to treat the affected populations during and after an emergency situation such as explosions, pandemics,or war (pick one). Consider the variations in the means by which different countries receive resources.
- Facilities: Analyze each situation to identify the facilities required to care for patients during an emergency situation such as explosions, pandemics, war (pick one). Consider the likelihood that medical facilities or surrounding infrastructure is damaged or compromised. In your presentation, you will discuss methods that may be used to create more space in a medical facility, establish temporary medical facilities, or transfer patients to other facilities to provide the appropriate healthcare to the affected populations.
- Personnel: The goal of healthcare professionals in any emergency situation is to care for patients first! Based on the potential threats to public health, determine the appropriate medical personnel needed to treat patient injuries and illnesses. Consider the emergency responders, medical personnel, and modes of transportation required for safely transporting patients from the incident site to medical facilities during or after situations around the world for emergency situations.
- Medical supplies and equipment: Disaster planning includes ensuring the availability of the appropriate supplies and equipment. Analyze an emergency situation such as explosions, pandemics, war determine the appropriate supplies and equipment needed at the incident site and associated medical facilities to treat the affected populations’ injuries and illnesses. Consider the availability of medications, equipment, and electricity.
