Discussion:Emergency Management Committee

Question Description
The assignment:

Develop a hospital emergency management committee. How is it structured?

What is their purpose and responsibilities?

Who should be on your EMC and why?

Introduction:

What do you envision when you hear the term Emergency Management Committee? Who sits in the chairs? Who SHOULD sit in the chairs? Speaking of chairs, who occupies the Chair’s chair? What qualifications should the members have? What is the EMC expected to do? Once again, this entity is far different today than it was in the early days of the hospital Disaster Committee.

Week Objectives:

Describe how to develop a healthcare emergency management committee.

Understand the roles and responsibilities of a healthcare emergency management committee.

Review the standards requirements regarding who should be included on EM Committees and discuss (ie; TJC, ACS Trauma Regs).

Reference to appropriate authoritative resources and official websites. Must be accessible online. Use New Times Roman 12 font with 1” margins and APA style. The answer should be at least 400 words.

I attached 2 co-students examples, but do your original work. Also, the primary book attached.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
