An active shooter event is likely one of the worst events that
can happen within a medical facility due to trauma, loss of
potential life, and the continued need for patient care. The
active shooter training within hospital settings will assist
leadership and educators in establishing protocols, training
strategies, community assessment of coverage, and developing a
recovery response plan.

The California Hospital Association’s Hospital Preparedness
Program has developed a course for the active shooter incident. A
course by and for hospitals which helps participants review
organizational aspects of planning and training to increase
survivability of patients, visitors and staff in an active
shooter event.
