Choose a relevant adverse event that could happen at your healthcare facility. You are welcome to use something you have seen happen at your own organization, or something that could happen to any healthcare facility. You can use the HVA example from module 4 to see some different types of events you might want to choose from. (Example: a water main breaks at a large hospital, leaving them without water until it can be repaired.)
Use the knowledge you have gained in this course to decide the steps you would take to handle this event and describe them. Important details that should be included are:
• What are some key incident response activities?
• What information would you need to obtain as soon as possible?
• If activating HICS, who would be needed in your Incident Management Team, and why those people would be important?
You may submit your plan in outline or essay format. You may use the HIMT Chart template in module 2 as well.
