Listen now to a preview of HCPro’s upcoming Webcast, “Five Steps To Strengthen Your Emergency Operations Plan”

Hi, it’s Scott Wallask again. It seems like emergency operations plans (EOPs) have a lot of buzz these days, partially because The Joint Commission has left much of the design of an EOP up to hospitals.

To that end, HCPro is hosting a Webcast on April 14 at 1 p.m. Eastern called, “Five Steps To Strengthen Your Emergency Operations Plan.” We’ve got a free preview of the show up now online with emergency management expert Jim Kendig, vice president of safety, security, and clinical/courier transportation at Health First in Melbourne, FL (look for the “Play Clip” icon).

In the audio clip, Kendig passes along one reason why school closings during Hurricane Floyd ended up being a concern for his hospitals. He’ll have plenty of other advice and analysis during the April 14 Webcast.

Anyone else out there have tips about crafting an EOP? Just use the comment box below.
