About
The webinar is about Hospital-Based Incident Command Systems (HICS). It describes how hospitals use these systems to manage emergencies and disasters. HICS helps organize staff, resources, and communication during a crisis. The system ensures that everyone knows their roles and responsibilities, making it easier to respond quickly and effectively. By using HICS, hospitals can better protect patients and staff while maintaining essential services. Topics include how Garfield Memorial Hospital in Utah utilized HICS forms in the response and recovery periods during the culinary water incident; a ricin incident at Fannin Regional Hospital in Georgia; and a domestic and child custody dispute at the Redfield Community Memorial Hospital in Avera, South Dakota. This one-hour, 30-minute webinar from TRACIE (Technical Resources, Assistance Center, and Information Exchange) requires free registration.
