The Hospital Preparedness Program requires hospitals that receive grant funding to train their leadership in the National Incident Management System and the Incident Command System. This training is required for hospital emergency program managers and for personnel who are likely to assume an incident command position as described in the hospital’s Emergency Management Plan. This training must be completed by August 31, 2007. 

To help hospitals comply with this mandate, CHA is offering this free web seminar to California hospitals, with grant funds obtained from the California Department of Health Services Emergency Preparedness Office.

Developed by Kaiser Permanente’s Healthcare Continuity Management Department, this course is approved by the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services as an equivalent Federal Emergency Management Agency course.

This course will provide the training required to comply with the NIMS Implementation Activities for Hospitals and the grant activities including:

              ICS 100:  Basics of ICS

              ICS 200:  Applying ICS to Health Care Organizations

              IS 700:  Introduction to NIMS
