Healthcare Preparedness
Our Expertise
Caring for People When They Need It Most
From medical surge planning to mass casualty incident readiness, we assist healthcare facilities and healthcare coalitions to be ready for the unthinkable. Our breadth of healthcare experience coupled with real-world response insights helps healthcare solve today’s toughest problems and strengthen community health outcomes.
We provide understanding of compliance requirements for the Joint Commission, the CMS Emergency Preparedness Rule, and ASPR’s Hospital Preparedness Program. We support healthcare preparedness planning, training, and exercise efforts in decontamination, pediatric readiness, continuity, pandemic preparedness, crisis and risk communication, and much more.
Statewide Medical and Health Preparedness Program
A State as large as California has complex requirements for healthcare preparedness. CONSTANT was engaged to successfully execute a multi-year effort to support the State of California in managing its annual statewide medical and health disaster exercise. The effort spanned multiple trainings, website design, video production, technical assistance, and outreach. CONSTANT brought fresh ideas on managing the complex threat landscape of California, broadening connections with healthcare partners, and evolving resilience capabilities to meet the challenges ahead.
Medical Surge Readiness Program
Healthcare facilities must be ready to surge to meet the needs following a disaster. Working with two regional hospitals in Los Angeles, CONSTANT developed the “15 ‘til 50” Mass Casualty Incident Toolkit that outlines how to prepare for a surge of 50 patients with only 15 minutes' notice. This award-winning toolkit was designed for healthcare emergency managers. It included a PowerPoint deck, checklists, plan templates, videos, talking points, supply lists, and more. This program was recognized by the California Emergency Services Association (CESA) for its innovation and relevance in helping to prepare healthcare emergency managers for MCIs.
CBRNE Readiness for Healthcare
CONSTANT is currently assessing local decontamination plans and jurisdictional CBRNE response capabilities for the Bay Area, California. This includes the design and conduct of a virtual workshop series to understand local government and partner agency operational capabilities, the development of a regional healthcare and hospital response Concept of Operations, and the creation of a purchasing plan to acquire identified necessary CBRNE equipment.
