40 72 Hours to Landfall Thursday 8/25/ hrs. HICS Level 2 is ordered and all weather reports are confirming a L.I. -NYC landfall Evacuations appear likely to occur at SIUH North and South sites All critical infrastructure needs and requests are being filled All municipal emergency management agencies are consulted EOC initiates 24/7 staffing model Facilities leadership orders a stop work order on all construction sites All sites are to be secured within 24 hrs Union labor issues are considered Vendors and contractors are asked to provide their staffing models Employee alerts are increased to twice per day Executive conference calls occur every 4 hrs Hours to Landfall Friday 8/26/2011 Decision has been made to evacuate SIUH North & South and begin evacuating Southside Hospital, as well Emergency purchases begin to arrive at system hospitals and Emergency Management Headquarters in Syosset Emergency generators are disbursed based on assessments by facilities and engineering leadership Hospitals are asked to prepare staffing models and submit them to Emergency Management Hospitals are instructed to begin rapid discharges and surge plans are to be activated Executive leadership have suspended all elective surgeries through Tuesday 80 40
41 24 36 Hours to Landfall Final checks are being made with all system partners at our sites All equipment requested by the sites have been delivered A decision has been made to evacuate Southside Hospital Many nursing homes and area hospitals are seeking assistance in evacuations NS-LIJ staff is sent to these facilities to coordinate, evaluate and facilitate evacuations and/or sheltering Hours Out SIUH evacuations are completed Resources had been shifted east earlier as the need declined in Staten Island Southside evacuations completed NSLIJ begins to take additional evacuees from nursing homes in Nassau and Queens NSLIJ coordinates additional evacuations in Rockaways and to sites outside the Health System NSLIJ begins to take patients who refuse special needs sheltering Patient tracking and patient medical evaluations are the primary operations sector duties 82 41
42 During the Storm All transportation services and deliveries are suspended Facility damage assessments are conducted regularly Monitoring of utilities is constant, many facilities go to generator power Staff attendance shows no significant absentee rates No facilities are closed to emergencies, including the evacuated facilities Patients continue to arrive in Emergency Departments All NSLIJ Hospitals are reporting normal operations 83 Summary 947 patients were evacuated from Southside Hospital and Staten Island University Hospital All evacuated inpatients were safely transported prior to the storm Southside Hospital and SIUH both continued to keep their Emergency Departments open throughout the storm Post storm, all of the evacuated patients were safely discharged or transported back to their original facility depending on their medical condition 70 nursing home patients from seven different facilities in the Rockaways and Long Beach were accommodated at: North Shore University Hospital s Stern Center for Extended Care and Rehabilitation in Manhasset Long Island Jewish Medical Center Franklin Hospital 84 42
43 Ensuring the Safety of Patients, Staff and the Community 85 Shelter in Place Pros Less logistically challenging Less of a load on network Mitigate risks associated with transfers and handoffs Cons Obvious risk to patients in extreme circumstances Most complicated moment is in the thick of the event (i.e. last minute evacuations during Hurricane Sandy) Pearls Staff at 150% Key medical staff in-house for the duration of event Evacuate most critically ill, when possible Create clinical redundancies in-house 86 43
44 Evacuate Pros Mitigate risk associated with staying in the danger-zone The complicated portion of this task is done in normal conditions/pre-hazard Cons Logistically challenging Creates capacity issues for surrounding/receiving hospitals More hand offs are possible patient safety issues Pearls Preexisting relationships and plans with surrounding facilities Expanded stay-teams to support the community Predetermined structure for handoffs and communication of PHI and equipment in emergency situations 87 Video 88 44
45 Evacuation Processes during Irene Stay Teams To address concerns that area residents may seek shelter and medical care during the storm, Stay Teams were expanded to include sufficient clinical staff to provide patient care, if needed Dietary, sleeping, and parking arrangements were made to accommodate staff 89 Evacuation Processes during Irene Effective Strategies/Best Practices Coordinated effectively with the System to secure appropriate beds and transportation for all patients Patient relations created an effective chain of communication between hospital and patient family/friends Utilizing social networking, hospital website and HICS hotline to communicate scheduling decisions with staff Patient safety was maintained throughout the evacuation process No patient or staff injuries Efficiently distributed four day supply of medication to transferred patients 90 45
46 Evacuation Processes during Irene Opportunities for Improvement Gaps in communication in patient transfer process Infrequent communication updates with on-duty staff No process in place to inform family members that were present during evacuation Improved tracking process for equipment loaned to other facilities The Main Conference Room at North Site was not conducive to implementation of Incident Command System Incident Command structure was not fully developed Key HICS roles were not assigned No order of succession designated for relief of individuals in key roles Better communication with departments about labor pool use/function Better utilize staff support function as described in HICS structure 91 Evacuation Processes during Irene Recommendations Make better use of radio and Spectralinkphones to communicate vertically among all levels of staff Better utilize technology to track patients and equipment Expedite relocation of Primary EOC to McGinn Education Center Incorporate a family reception/information area into the evacuation plan Designate areas for HICS Sections with communication capabilities for each section Develop the role of EOC Manager to coach the Command staff during plan activations 92 46
47 Evacuation Processes during Irene Recommendations Resume ongoing education on the incident command structure for hospital leadership Provide more frequent communication updates with on-duty staff Provide education to unit staff regarding evacuation, triage and transport needs Establish mechanism to assign physician and PCUM teams to expedite evacuation process Train staff on new processes and evaluate effectiveness in an exercise
48 Employee Assistance Post-Sandy Established 0% interest loans with local banks, making $900,000 available to eligible employees Created ride-sharing programs and discounts with local car dealerships NSLIJ provided $400,000 in direct financial assistance System-sponsored temporary housing for 260 employees and their families Established a Employee Emergency Resource Center (EERC). The EERC fielded 4,600 phone calls and the website had 14,000 visits Employee Assistance Paid time off exchange resulting in 7,000 hours of PTO being distributed to employees in need 95 Employee Resilience and Assistance Employee Resilience is key to business continuity; and it s the right thing to do! 96 48
