Hospital Evac System

Standardize Evacuation Process Across Every Unit

Follows Joint Commission Guidelines

--

As the importance of preparation becomes increasingly clear and the likelihood of severe weather grows, federal regulators and accreditors are looking to make sure our hospitals are as ready as they can be.

Strategicaly Located Supplies

By placing an evacuation management pack at every nurses station, a standardized set of tools is readily accessible. Nursing staff can quickly activate the evacuation process, initiate patient tracking and implement clear communication with your incident management teams.

Evidence Based Prioritization

--

Triage based on a simple aggregate scoring system using physiological measurements, already recorded in routine practice. This ‘early warning score’, determines the degree of illness of a patient and detects clinical deterioration. The score is then used to determin evacuation priority A, B, C or D 

Simple Triage

Performing initial Triage is vital to providing the best level of care to the largest number of our patients or residents.

Standardized process will allow each unit or ward to clearly communicate with the management team the resources required to evacuate.

Evacuation Triage and Tracking Tag records vital information from initial assessment to arrival at reciving facility and clearly indicates patient priority allowing transport teams to efficiently move patients.
