  2. Agenda • Call to Order • Review 2012 Efforts • Our Plan and Objectives for 2013 • An Update on our Active Shooter procedure • Using Technology to Improve Readiness • Mass Casualty Incidents • Workplace Violence • Evacuation using Medsleds • Adjourn

  3. Review 2012 Efforts • Emergency Management Framework outlines program components • Complete an annual Hazard Vulnerability Analysis (HVA) that evaluates what could happen, the likelihood of the event occurring, and the magnitude of the problems created by an event. Once the HVA is complete, response plans are developed in the form of an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). • Develop and maintain an EOP to implement emergency management concepts before, during, and after planned and real-world incidents. • Organize and implement drills and improvement projects to mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies. • Address Joint Commission elements of performance to meet or exceed standards through the assessment of performance indicators. • Provide educational opportunities for employees at all levels in order to establish and sustain emergency management competencies.

  4. Review 2012 Efforts • Performance Indicators are presented monthly to the Safety and Security sub-committee;

  5. Review 2012 Efforts 2012 Incidents 2012 Top 5 Hazards Workplace Violence Inclement Weather Utility Outages Mass Casualty Incidents (MCIs) Technology Failures January: Jan 21 - Medical Nitrogen Gas Outage February • Feb 2 - ED Over-Capacity/Simultaneous Trauma Alerts • Feb 21 - Breaker Failure UVA Medical Center March • Mar 15 - Bomb Threat at Fontaine • Mar 21 - Baby Safe Server Failure • Mar 26 - Bomb Threat at Fontaine April: Apr 28 - Foxfield May • May 23 - 8 West Ceiling Leak • May 24 - nTelos Outage June: June 29 - The "Derecho" October • Oct 10 - Urgent Electrical System Repair/Outage • Oct 28 - Hurricane Sandy December • Dec 17 - Ambriar Shopping Center Explosion • Dec 30 - Medical Center Bomb Threat

  6. Review 2012 Efforts Lessons Learned • Power loss causes significant issues for Ambulatory areas • Impact during off hours • Widespread Outages • Building Security • Elevators 5 and 6 are significant concerns • Fridays Before 5 Groups are effective • Evacuation education must be a focus • Anticipate the “Domino Effect”

  7. 2013 Objectives • Continue to plan, exercise, and educate to the hazards that make us most vulnerable. • Sustain emphasis on preparing for unplanned incidents. • Maintain momentum created by combining the Safety and Security Manual with the EP&R Guide into a (Red) Book used at the unit level. • At the unit level (e.g. Cyber exercise comment to integrate downtime checklist into Red Book and S&S support for developing a smart phone App for use “in the moment”). • Emphasize and continue creating Area Specific Plans that appear helpful at the Manager/Director levels. • Tie both of these into the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP).

  8. 2013 Objectives • Exercise • Quarterly Focus with additional emphasis on Downtime procedures (WPV, Severe Weather, Hazmat, Evacuation) • TableTop Exercises (TTX) for the Emergency Management Working Group to facilitate Hospital Command Center Operations • Mature Sub-Incident Management Teams (e.g. Clinops, Ambulatory, M.D.’s) • Full Scale and Functional Exercising (e.g. Evacuation, Hazmat, IT downtime)

  9. 2013 Objectives • Mass educate to reach thousands (vs exercising to reach 100’s) • Workplace Violence • Mass Casualty Incidents • Evacuation • Formalize Response Teams • Fridays Before Five Teams • First Response Teams from Transportation, Medical Transport Program, SRO, and HSPP.
