Week 4 is about preparing for an event that may not happen at all, an event that many organizations work to prevent. The problem is disaster preparedness. As we analyze this case study, we will learn how to estimate the short-term and long-term consequences of decisions. In addition, we will also look at the type of preparation required for a hospital to deal with either an internal or external disaster.

Your Learning Objectives for the Week:

Incorporate legal and ethical issues in healthcare in administrative decision-making.

Justify the principles of human resources management, operations management, quality and strategic planning in administrative decision-making.

The SNS is a pivotal tool in the event of a disaster.

Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research SNS. Based on your understanding, respond to the following:

List and explain the types of items a community hospital will require and seek from the SNS in the event of a disaster.

List and explain at least two concerns you may have when forced to rely on this facility.

List and explain some of the problems that may arise from a disaster plan, which may be ten years old and involved all of the local community hospitals at the time it was originally designed.
