In 2009, Emergency Management will become a separate Joint Commission chapter, as a result of the organization’s Standards Improvement Initiative. This new 1.5-day seminar will provide a thorough discussion of the new standards related to emergency management and how they are operationalized.

The discussions will reflect an “all-hazards” approach to emergency preparedness that permits appropriately flexible and effective responses. This highly interactive workshop will lead you through case studies in small group discussions to help illustrate the necessary elements in planning for emergency response.

By attending this conference you will learn:

• Strategies for testing response plans for evaluation and program improvement
• Tools to identify the new Joint Commission requirements for emergency management and how to demonstrate compliance
• Action plans for changes you need to make to your emergency operations plans
