Mandated Training on the National Incident Management System and
the Incident Command System for Hospitals and Health Care Systems
The Hospital Preparedness Program requires
hospitals that receive grant funding to train their leadership in
the National Incident Management System and the Incident Command
System. This training is required for hospital emergency program
managers and for personnel who are likely to assume an incident
command position as described in the hospital’s Emergency
Management Plan.
To help hospitals comply with this mandate, CHA offers this free
web seminar to California hospitals, with grant funds obtained
from California Emergency Management Agency (CalEMA).
Developed by Kaiser Permanente’s Healthcare Continuity Management
Department, this course is approved by the California Governor’s
Office of Emergency Services as an equivalent Federal Emergency
Management Agency course.
This course provides the training required to comply with the
NIMS Implementation Activities for Hospitals and the grant
activities including:
ICS 100: Basics of ICS
ICS 200: Applying ICS to Health Care Organizations
IS 700: Introduction to NIMS
This course is required for:
Emergency Preparedness Committee Members
Emergency Program Managers
Any personnel who are likely to assume an incident command
position described in the hospital’s Emergency Management Plan
Any personnel that would assume a leadership role in
emergency preparedness, incident response or the Hospital Command
Center (Hospital Emergency Operations Center).
