Emergency Management In Hospitals & Health Care

Emergency management (EM) is often taught in the context of community, provincial, national and international emergencies. There is currently a gap in disaster and emergency management (DEM) education and training when transitioning from a generic and public emergency management context to a hospital and health-care setting. Emergencies affect hospitals differently and require unique approaches to EM efforts. Hospitals and health-care facilities also experience very specific emergencies of their own. This speaker series aims to address some of these topics through knowledge transferring and sharing and to inform professionals in the DEM field who are working in these settings and those who are transitioning to the health-care field or studying DEM from a health-care context.

Speakers:

• Andrew Moull, manager, disaster and emergency management, Hamilton Health Sciences;
• Eileen Benedictus, manager of risk, privacy and emergency preparedness, North Bay Regional Health Centre;
• Grayson Cockett, emergency management officer, Alberta Health Services;
• Katie Subbotina, senior advisor for emergency preparedness, enterprise risk, Trillium Health Partners; and
• Shannan Saunders, director of emergency management, Mount Sinai, New York.
