About

This crosswalk document helps hospitals plan for emergencies that need patient evacuation. It describes how to match hospital units with five main bed categories: Critical Care, Physical Rehabilitation, Psychiatry, Perinatal Care, and Medical/Surgery. Hospitals should list their units under these categories and note any hard-to-match units for special attention during evacuations. The document suggests keeping the crosswalk table in key areas like the Hospital Command Center and updating it yearly to ensure readiness in case of an emergency.
