California Hospitals
Overview:
The Joint Commission and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
require health care entities maintain “all-hazard” emergency
preparedness and response capability and capacity. Leveraging
virtual reality (VR) as a training modality for emergency
management training holds great promise as an effective,
realistic, immersive, and scalable healthcare training strategy.
This session discussed adult learning theory, emergency
management training challenges and strategies, and how the use of
VR for emergency management training provides an effective,
efficient, realistic, and scalable alternative to traditional
training methods
The public information officer (PIO) is a vital part of the
incident command team, charged with delivering accurate
information to the right people at the right time. This session
will review the role of the PIO and present attendees with
strategies for utilizing social media for emergency
communications.
