The Joint Commission, the largest healthcare accrediting organization, requires healthcare facilities to be prepared for significant events which could disrupt patient care. The facilities are required to perform hazard vulnerability analyses, have policies addressing the most likely events, conduct drills, and monitor compliance.
The public health system performs this role for the nation at large. New threats and potential events present themselves daily. As healthcare administrators, our organizations are called upon to play a role in implementing many public health preparedness duties. Therefore, it is important to understand the way the public health system addresses preparedness.
