The past decade has demonstrated that disasters are intensifying in size, frequency, and severity, motivating hospitals and health care facilities to reassess their emergency preparedness plans. According to a recent Medical Group Management Association poll, 78% of health care leaders said their emergency preparedness plans have expanded to include natural disasters, computer system failures, workplace violence, and active shooters. Yet, many health care facilities still find themselves overwhelmed or unprepared when an emergency strikes.
