Fundamentals of Medical Planning

A Two-Day Workshop in Support of Emergency Response in a Medical Environment

May 20-21, 2008
Arlington, VA

About This Workshop

 

An uncertain world environment has forced national leaders to re-assess medical support requirements. Changes in global disease patterns, the frightening specter of terrorism and the proliferation of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high explosive (CBRNE) weapons of mass destruction (WMD), natural disasters and complex emergency events have emphasized the central role to be played by the healthcare community in helping to mitigate the impact of these threats.

Fundamentals of Medical Planning Workshop will teach you aspects of crisis action medical planning to help your organization enhance its preparedness and risk management posture. This workshop will help you create, or improve, organic medical plans to improve your defenses against emergency events, whether they be from terrorism, the next series of catastrophic weather events, or large-scale industrial accidents.

You’ll also receive hand-outs which will provide you with a take-home, strategic “guide” to help you with your organization’s medical planning initiatives.

What You Will Learn:

How to assess threats to the health and safety of your organization and personnel
The role and importance of medical intelligence
Fundamentals of Medical Planning
How to conduct deliberate and crisis-action planning evolutions
How to train and exercise your medical plans
Emerging threats in the asymmetrical environment
Response and recovery operations
