Passing The Joint Commission (TJC), inspection doesn't necessarily mean that your facility is in compliance with the numerous EPA, OSHA and state regulations. Healthcare facilities can be subjected to numerous fines and penalties for regulatory non-compliance resulting in negative impacts to revenue as well as public image.

Emergency Planning and Preparedness Services for Healthcare facilities
Healthcare facilities need to be prepared to deal with and respond to a natural or man-made (all hazards) event. Employees need to be trained to safely respond to a mass casualty incident. It's critical that facilities be prepared to manage an influx of patients, potentially contaminated patients, patient reunification, communication breakdowns, and other emergency events to ensure the continuity of operating a functional institution.
CMI can assist in developing and maintaining a strong functioning emergency management program in the following planning areas.
- • Emergency Operations Plans (EOPs)
- • Hospital Evacuation Planning
