IHA Emergency Preparedness Exercise

Emergency preparedness 

The annual Emergency Preparedness Exercise is designed to:

  • Build capacity and capability to prepare for and respond to incidents that stress normal hospital daily operations;
  • Discuss healthcare safety challenges with peers around the state; and
  • Achieve compliance with various regulatory and accreditation bodies.

We survey our members each year to ensure the exercise topic is timely and aligned with advocacy, quality and safety initiatives. IHA members have needs: We customize objectives and tasks to meet the individual facility, system or regional needs. Past exercises have focused on an array of timely topics including mass casualty incidents, active shooter and cyberattacks.
