AHA Endorsement:
Emergency Preparedness & Emergency Management
Today’s hospitals are not only urged to comply with Homeland Security’s National Incident Management System (NIMS), but are required for receiving federal Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP) funding. Tougher emergency management (EM) standards have also been set by the Joint Commission.
Why We Endorsed Emergency Preparedness & Emergency Managementfrom LiveProcess
LiveProcess stands out as an organization within this space by offering a concentrated focus on Incident Management for the hospital community--the system has been designed specifically for hospitals, and even at times, by hospitals. LiveProcess also demonstrates knowledge of Emergency/Incident Management regulations. Two of the main sources for regulations within this industry come from HICS IV (Hospital Incident Command System) and NIMS (National Incident Management System). It is imperative that any organization providing an incident management system is well versed in both of these areas.
LiveProcess offers a centralized web-based platform of services helping hospitals prepare for and respond to disasters and large-scale health care emergencies with ease and control. Since the program is web-based, there are no onsite installations or IT/IS involvement. The only equipment needed is a computer with a web browser and Internet access.
