In this blog post healthcare facilities leaders share their perspectives on the timely subjects of Disaster Response & Emergency Management. While the consensus indicates that both are critical during catastrophic events like hurricanes, there are subtle differences between the two, mostly in timing, roles, and responsibilities. Jonathan Westall, FACHE from MLK, JR. COMMUNITY HOSPITAL compared the terms, stating, “I would define disaster response as part of emergency management. It is the beginning stages of an ongoing emergency management procedure. Response might be the first actionable step after continuous planning. But the emergency management is the entire life cycle of that event in discussion.” The bottom line is that healthcare facilities cannot simply close operations during disasters. The safety and well-being of patients are at stake, so facilities teams, security teams, disaster response teams, and first responders must all work closely together to prepare, support and help aid in recovery.
