Incident Command Training for Senior Leadership

Last updated on

senior leadership training

Hospital executives understand the importance of incident command and emergency management training. Executives do not necessarily have the time to leave the hospital for a two-day training session or even for a few hours. Vantage Point can bring that essential information to your hospital. This made-to-order training course highlights the key command positions and section operations of the incident command system (ICS) and where senior leadership falls into that structure. A review of the key principles of emergency management and critical functions for response and recovery is presented. This is followed by participation in a  tabletop exercise customized to your hospital.

The discussion-based exercise will focus on input needed from leadership to make decisions that may not be clearly defined in the current emergency operations plan due to the novelty of the situation. It also gives senior leadership the opportunity to learn what your hospital already does well and makes them aware of opportunities for improvement based on reports from prior exercises.

Vantage Point has partnered with the International Board for Certification of Safety Managers to offer Certified Healthcare Emergency Professional (CHEP), Certified Healthcare Safety Professional (CHSP), Certified Emergency Disaster Professional (CEDP), and Fire Safety Management (FSM) Training and Certification.

Vantage Point Consulting is the only organization in Indiana to offer these certifications. We can provide training on-site, or at our location in central Indiana.
