The Homeland Security Act of 2002, provided authority for the creation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In addition, he directed the Director of DHS a National Incident Management (NIMS) to create. Published in 2004, NIMS established the framework for the detection, mitigation, response and recovery from natural disasters or man-made events, and events of national importance in the United States, its territories, protected areas and Indian Tribal Nations. NIMSprovided the framework for the creation of the National Response Plan (NRP), published in 2004.
The National Response Plan is an all-hazards approach, all agencies in the detection, mitigation, response and recovery from disasters, whether natural or manmade events and incidents of national significance. A little known provision of NIMS created a classification system for all resources in disaster. This classification system, the National Resource Typing System (NRT)provides a unified cross-agency, cross-judicial means to classify all the resources, or may be used in response to a NRP / NIMS, if such resources are equipment or personnel.
Conflagration
Responsibilities of a signatory:
All federal agencies, all 50 states, all U.S. protectorates and territories and all the tribal nations within the framework and the authority of the federal government have signed NRP / NIMS. In these signatories are the resource and HealthServices Administration (HRSA) and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), the lead agency for Medicare, Medicaid and veterans health care funding. This drawing represents a real privilege to certain tasks, these organizations and governments, and have certain rights and privileges. These rights and obligations of all responsible agencies, their funding and the authority derived from the signatories to NRP / NIMS.
Conflagration
In addition to an irrevocable agreementfully in any disaster, whether artificial or natural event or incident of national significance within the region, the signatories or authority, entered the office, department or agency, all signatories of the NIMS / NRP have accepted all the changes advance, classifications, and regulations that may change by the Director of DHS or the NIMS Integration Center, or the Centers NRP implementation will be announced. These changes, classifications and rules need to changebe implemented without changes.
NIMS requirements for DHS of importance:
Within NIMS, there are several clauses that are important to the creation of new industries in the area of disaster preparedness, planning, training and evaluation in the United States. Returning to the document, the term "to establish qualifications, credentials and certifications for hospitals and health facilities in collaboration with national and professional organizations ...". ThisExpression is any reference to hospitals and medical facilities at all levels of response - administrative, financial, logistical and put into operation in particular. If hospitals specifically mentioned, this set comes with greater regularity. So far you have not implemented the classification system of credentials or certification of the DHS, NRP or NIMS.
The TNF does not provide guidance on how to compile this report, for the qualification, certification,credentials and typing of medical providers and, more specifically, physicians. However, the NIMS Integration Center September 12, 2006, still in a hospital and health facility NIMS Implementation Plan published.
Effects of NIMS Integration Plan for hospitals and healthNIMS responsibility of DHHS of importance:
In addition to an irrevocable agreement in full to any disaster, whether artificial or natural event or incident of national significance within the region, the signatories or authoritySignatory agency, department or agency, all signatories of the NIMS / NRP agreed to all changes, classifications, and changes in regulations, which may by the Director of the DHS NIMS Integration Center, or, or NRP Implementation Centers will be announced in advance. These changes, classifications, and changes the rules must be applied without modification.
The Center for Medical Services (CMS) has authorized the DHHS agency and especially the responsibility ofThe monitoring of all operations for Medicare, Medicaid and Tricare. These activities include the certification of participating hospitals and health facilities, both directly (and RO) through a network of regional offices and State agencies (SA) or authorized private organizations, including the Joint Commission for Accreditation of health care organizations ( JCAHO) accreditation and the health care facility program (HFAP) of the American Osteopathic Association (AOA). CMS gets itsThe authority of the Secretary of DHHS and is responsible for performing all the duties and functions of the Secretary of DHHS as Medicare, Medicaid and Tricare applied, in particular, but not for the proliferation of rules and regulations, limited to this purpose .
NIMS Implementation Center Hospital and Health Fund Plan:
NIMS Implementation Center Hospital and Healthcare Fund Plan provides a new landscape for the provision of disaster planning,Preparation services, training and evaluation, and national organizations for the certification and accreditation of health facilities, health professionals planning and emergency management professionals involved.
JCAHO accreditation standards and Civil Protection:
The Joint Commission for Accreditation of healthcare organizations (JCAHO) has become the de facto standard for the hospital and healthcare facility accreditation. The AmericanOsteopathic Association (AOA) has a parallel structure of the health program accreditation (HFAP). For the purposes of this discussion, there is no practical difference to the standards set by JCAHO and AOA. JCAHO accreditation is more common that the discussion will focus on JCAHO standards.
Participating hospitals and health facilities to provide "self-certification" for external JCAHO accreditation. The DHHS through JCAHO accreditation instead of using CMS CMSCertification of eligibility for the CMS vendor. The loss of JCAHO accreditation is synonymous with loss of eligibility CMS provider. JCAHO publishes a handbook entitled under special standing together, an overview of the JCAHO standards for disaster preparedness post-9/11 era and provides an overview of compliance with these standards.
JCAHO standards have in particular the START / jumpstart triage system disaster (aka Integrated Triage) is assumed. JCAHO also specifically GuideAddress civil protection and education through immersion simulation exercises, the so-called "community wide" and "flow points". The guide allows JCAHO board exercises, but this type of drill does not satisfy the need to drill immigration. JCAHO specifies that an accredited hospital must conduct at least one drill each year at least two large communities of flow drills every two years.
Center for Medical Services (CMS):
The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), aThe signatories to NRP / NIMS is the regulatory authority for Medicare, Medicaid and Tricare (Veterans Administration) funding through the Center for Medical Services (CMS). The regulatory body provides certification for hospitals and other healthcare facilities by both JCAHO / HFAP directly or through a separate system of state supervision / team. CMS regulations carry the force of federal law from various aspects of the Social Security Act Title XVIII and XIV, the specific Federal RegisterThe sections of this discussion are 42CFR482.1 and their existing legal help. The CMS State Operations Manual provides the clearest guide to the current interpretation of the rules and CMS 42CFR482.1. CMS provides for the application of safety requirements and precaution.
Signed as an office of a NRP / NIMS agency, is to CMS, in accordance with the full implementation of the NRP / NIMS. This includes requiring compliance with NRP / NIMS compliance with allProviders (hospitals and health facilities), funded by CMS. CMS regulations establish a regulatory requirement for the entire NRP / NIMS compliance by all Medicare, Medicaid and Tricare certified hospitals and medical facilities. As an office of a NRP / NIMS signed (DHHS), these requirements no more than a reaffirmation and implementation of NIMS NIMS Center Hospital and Health Plan of the plants. CMS also increased non-compliance with safety and prevention atof an "imminent threat" and therefore the immediate suspension of the state hospital or health facility as a CMS (Medicare, Medicaid and Tricare) participating providers.
Correlation between NIMS-IC plan, the CMS regulations and JCAHO standards:
Correlation 1:
Implement the NRP / NIMS signed agreement signed by DHHS CMS and the responsibility of the directives, regulations and accreditation requirements of the combined CMS, HRSA and JCAHO create a full mandate andunchanged from the NRP / NIMS / NIMS Implementation Center Hospital and NRT and Health Fund Plan is to all hospitals and health facilities.
Correlation 2:
CMS regulations and JCAHO standards require both the use of an incident command structure and attention to the four phases of disaster. This describes the NIMS Implementation Center Hospital and plant health plan for use of the Incident Command System and ICS structureEducation.
Correlation 3:
CMS regulations and JCAHO standards require hospitals and health facilities, together with the community multi-agency responses to disasters, the membership of a community-wide multi-agency drill. This plan meets the NIMS Implementation Center Hospital and Care health care facility and effectively implement this part of the plan.
Correlation 4:
The combination of CMS use JCAHO accreditation as a certification, and the CMSPostponement of the certification of hospitals JCAHO JCAHO accreditation makes the certification to the de facto center of NIMS implementation to meet the management of "self". JCAHO accreditation Sun has also become the de facto certification of compliance with the NIMS Implementation Center Hospital and plant health plan for each individual hospital or health facility.
Correlation 5:
CMS regulations and JCAHO standards require that an accredited hospital orHealthcare facility must develop and publish CMS / JCAHO review of an operating budget, including the provision of capital for all aspects of doing business. This reflects the NIMS Implementation Center Hospital and Healthcare Fund Plan provisions on financing preparation.
Correlation 6:
CMS regulations and JCAHO standards require a review of existing plans and regular updating of plans in light of both pre-event analysis of vulnerabilities and events Post Review (afterAction for review). These clauses validation of the NRP / NIMS NIMS Center Hospital and enforcement of sanitary facilities and check-up and a plan for regular revaluation.
Correlation 7:
CMS regulations and JCAHO standards and special requirements for the Community and Surge (inflows) drills disaster. In addition, both organizations hold exercises tabletop drills and live-patient simulator environment. The detailed and again and again to these exercisesemphasize the importance and significance of this phase by these regulatory bodies and accreditation asked. This gives the same importance, the disaster drill in the NRP / NIMS and NIMS Center Hospital and the implementation plan of the hospital.
8 Correlation:
CMS regulations and JCAHO standards specify that hospitals and health facilities are adequate supplies and resources, including generators, water, medicine and oxygen to get in order to ensure the safetyall staff, patients and residents. These requirements are important in various parts of the legislation, including the safety of life, plant operations, patient safety and human resources / personnel included. The JCAHO and CMS plan sections are actually more stringent and specific than the corresponding NIMS Implementation Center Hospital and portions health facility.
Correlation 9:
CMS regulations and JCAHO standards the use of simple language and a common nomenclature in allCommunications regardless of any other language or nomenclature used in the event of a disaster. This common language requirement is much stricter than the corresponding NIMS Implementation Center Hospital and associated health care planning sections in large part because of the priority that both CMS and JCAHO 1999 To err is human traffic report published by the Institute of Medicine issued.
Implication of the NIMS-IC plan, the CMS regulations and JCAHO standards:
Implication1:
Intentionally or by serendipity, the recently published CMS regulatory changes and progressive refinement of JCAHO standards in the accreditation criteria, which are now very close to this in the NRP / NIMS and NIMS Center Hospital and the implementation plan of the hospital. This has the effect of creating a legal mandate for hospitals and healthcare facilities to implement fully the NRP / NIMS NIMS Center and the implementation of the Hospital and Health Plan facilities. Theis the position of maximum alert, this is a new market for services, disaster preparedness and disaster preparedness, response and recovery education creates.
Corollary 2:
Started largely due to the National Patient Safety Program by JCAHO and CMS in response to the Institute of Medicine report To err is human, recently published CMS regulatory changes and progressive refinement of JCAHO standards in the eligibility criteria for the acquisition of resources / Inventory andcommunications common nomenclature that exceed those set in the NRP / NIMS and NIMS Center Hospital and the implementation plan of the hospital. In addition, both agencies these criteria to the criteria of safety equipment / life safety accreditation tied.
Corollary 3:
After the catastrophic events of 2004 and 2005 hurricane season and the recent National Academies of Science reports on hospital and community disaster preparedness, recently published CMSregulatory changes and progressive refinement of JCAHO standards of eligibility criteria for emergency planning, training and exercises, which continue in the NRP / NIMS NIMS Center Hospital and the implementation and plumbing layout upstairs. In addition, both agencies these criteria to the criteria of safety equipment / life safety accreditation tied.
Corollary 4:
Since the certification by CMS and JCAHO accreditation is required indirectly for Medicare,Medicaid and Tricare insurance and investments for CMS and JCAHO have much bound by their disaster preparedness criteria for safety equipment and life safety criteria for certification, breach of these criteria could be stopped immediately, CMS Medicare certification and immediately stop , Medicaid and Tricare insurance affiliate of the lesion hospital or health facility. In addition, any private insurance program to participate in the event, or CMS maintains the suspension. SoViolation of the CMS and / or JCAHO standards and disaster preparedness, expanding the NIMS Implementation Center Hospital and Health Fund Plan maintains substantial financial penalties for any hospital or health facility.
Conclusion:
Based on the comprehensive review of the CMS regulations, JCAHO standards, NRP / NIMS NIMS Center Hospital and the Implementation Plan and plant health, is the position of maximum alert, this creates a market pressure towards a completeImmersion training simulation that a "Crawl - Walk - Run" includes disaster training program for employees and ICS training for administration. This program can be delivered in 5-6 days and provide all necessary training and drills for the safety of the patient's needs, disaster preparedness / response and community / multi-agency drills required under CMS regulations of JCAHO standards, NRP / NIMS and NIMS Center Hospital and the implementation plan of the hospital. Provide a client program and hospitalsHealthcare facilities with comprehensive disaster planning, preparedness and response training, a significant improvement in patient safety through the use of simulation-based training and demonstrable cost-cutting approach than current market rates for these processes and protects customers from potential financial losses.
The accidental fire of CMS regulations, JCAHO standards, NRP / NIMS / NIMS Implementation Center Hospital and Healthcare Facility Plan Revision, NationalAcademies of Sciences and prepare reports of the hospital and the Institute of Medicine report To err is Human to create an unexpected, the de facto mandate to implement the complete and unaltered NIMS Implementation Center Hospital and Healthcare Facility Plan results. Additionally, the market is ripe for the introduction of the next disaster preparedness training development.
Simulation training scuba training extend disaster for hospital bedEnvironment and includes high fidelity human patient simulators not only disaster and terrorism response / treatment train, but also patient safety and other issues raised in the report of the Institute of Medicine to err is human. This model is similar to creating a learning environment to train with the pilots and fighter pilots. The teams in this model, we use techniques designed patterned after NASCAR pit crews train for a job quickly and accurately in a high-risk, stress and fastdynamic environment. Time zero-FL and its partners can not afford to lose such an opportunity may be.
