Jennifer Lord, current DMM student is drafting an evacuation plan for the hospital she is working for. As a part of the plan we have identified several new HICS positions that would be necessary to the evacuation process: Patient Transfer Team, Evacuation Confirmation Team,Patient Loading Officer and Patient Medical Records. These positions don't currently exist within the HICS structure. Our understanding is that HICS can be fluid enough that positions can be created and Job Action Sheets (JAS) drafted that address a need. Given that, we should be able to draft JAS's for these four positions. The HICS positions that currently exist are relative to receiving patients and treating patients that will be cared for within the facility. These positions don't translate all that well to the actions required for the safe and orderly movement of patients out from the facility to other facilities.
If anyone has any suggestions for either drafting new HICS position JAS's or finding the NIMS EMS job aides, please contact Jennifer at jennifer.lord@norwalkhealth.org.
