Hospital Disaster Planning
Threats of bioterrorist attacks, emerging new epidemics pandemics and large-scale disasters have greatly affirmed the need for Hospital Disaster Planning in recent years. BDR has the experience and knowledge to help hospitals effectively prepare for a diversity of potential hazards, whether natural or man-made.
Our approach to Hospital Disaster Planning includes:
- Business continuity planning
- Determining maximum surge capacity
- Assessing medical preparedness for a variety of potential health threats, i.e. the availability of life-saving vaccinations
- Meeting the requirements of special-needs patients such as children and dependent-care populations
- Coping with “worried well” citizens who are anxious about whether or not they have contracted a disease or virus
- Cost considerations of caring for victims in a large-scale emergency
- Identifying regional resources which can be mobilized to help manage a crisis
During a widespread public health crisis, every second counts. BDR helps jurisdictions protect the health, safety and well-being of their citizens by putting a sound Disaster Plan in place before an event strikes.
