AHRQ EXERCISE EVALUATION TOOLS

The Evaluation of Hospital Disaster Drills: A Module-Based Approach tool is a series of evaluation modules and addendums that can help hospitals evaluate disaster drills in a standardized way and identify specific weaknesses that can be targeted for improvement.  Developed for AHRQ by the Johns Hopkins University Evidence Based Practice Center, the modules are evidence-based and take into account current practice. The modules were piloted in two multi-hospital regional disaster drills in the summer of 2003.    

The tool includes modules on assessing the incident command, decontamination, triage, and treatment zones during a hospital disaster drill. It also includes modules for:  

- pre-drill assessment
- debriefing
- addenda for biological incidents, radiation incidents, general observation and documentation
- victim tracking
- detailed instructions on how to use the modules and addenda  

The tool is available at the AHRQ website.

 


HOSPITAL INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM (HICS) SMALL/RURAL HOSPITAL

JOB ACTION SHEETS AND FORMS

 

Hospital Incident Command System (HICS) is an incident management system based on the Incident Command System (ICS). Implementing HICS helps hospitals improve their emergency management planning, response, and recovery capabilities. Using HICS also helps hospitals interface more effectively with community response agencies during a disaster. 

 

These Job Action Sheets have been modified specifically for small and rural hospitals to reflect the unique resource challenges these facilities face.

 

If you have questions about the Small/Rural Hospital Job Action Sheets or Forms, please contact Barbara Dodge (402) 552-3101 or bdodge@unmc.edu or Kristine Sanger (402) 552-3099 or ksanger@unmc.edu
