COURSE OVERVIEW: Day 1: Joint Commission Emergency Preparedness Standards Day one will be an in-depth review of current Joint Commission emergency preparedness standards and best practices for demonstrating compliance. A discussion of the interface between these standards and the CMS emergency preparedness Conditions of Participation will be included. In addition, a 30-60 minute presentation from the Louisiana ESF8/Hospital Preparedness Program staff will be provided. Natural and man-made disasters, as well as the threat of pandemic disease and domestic and international terrorism, continue to shape how hospitals operationalize their emergency management programming. During the past decade, the Joint Commission s standards have been updated several times to better assess how hospitals are meeting the everincreasing complexities of healthcare emergency management. From the inclusion of community-based emergency preparedness, to exercises and drills based on a hospital s hazard vulnerability analysis and the development of the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), the Joint Commission requires hospitals to meet the Emergency Management (EM) standards, which are separate and distinct from the Environment of Care standards. This program will help hospitals better understand how the new numbering and/or scoring of EM standards will affect their emergency management program development and administration, what constitutes good emergency management in the hospital setting, and whether a hospital effectively assesses and mitigates the natural and man-made risks to patients, staff, visitors and the facility. COURSE OBJECTIVES: Upon completing this course, the participant will be able to: Provide an overview of the Joint Commission expectations while gaining an understanding of the Emergency Management tracer, the planning process and the hazard vulnerability analysis (HVA); Define four phases of emergency management; Develop or enhance Emergency Operations Plans through exercises (drills) and written critiques; Recognize each standard and element of performance in the EM chapter with a focus on six critical areas; Experience portions of the Emergency Management Tracer and participate in answering actual survey probe questions; Describe the phases of the disaster life cycle; List three key stakeholders in Louisiana s Emergency Support Function for health and medical (ESF8) preparedness and response; and Understand the Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP) role in addressing regulatory requirements. Day 2: CMS Emergency Preparedness Conditions of Participation Day two will begin with a morning session discussion of the CMS final rule and any interpretive guidance that has been published. The afternoon session will be a panel discussion with representatives from Health Standards, Louisiana Department of Health. Emergency Preparedness, and the Hospital Preparedness Program. This session will be focused on sharing best practices for planning and ideas about how the organization can implement the new rule. COURSE OBJECTIVES: Upon completing this course, the participant will be able to: 1. Discuss the Joint Commission emergency preparedness standards for accredited hospitals; 2. Discuss the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) emergency preparedness conditions of participation; and 3. Describe plans to implement the CMS emergency preparedness conditions of participation.
