Emergency Communications Network Releases White Paper Identifying Solution for Health Care Providers to Comply with Proposed CMS' Emergency Preparedness Rule
Ormond Beach, FL (PRWEB) September 08, 2014 -- Emergency Communications Network (ECN) has released a white paper regarding the need for health care organizations to implement a communications plan in accordance to proposed emergency preparedness requirements from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The white paper, titled “Complying with CMS' Emergency Preparedness Rule: Implementing an Effective Communications Plan,” provides background of the CMS proposal and an effective solution based on past and current health care disasters.
“We have worked diligently to create a first class tool to help health care organizations meet the requirements from CMS. Our experienced team of communication specialists is here to help you be prepared for the next disaster,” said David DiGiacomo, ECN President.
White paper excerpt:
Within communication planning, the CMS proposal would require hospitals to identify names and contact information for all pertinent employees, physicians, other hospitals and volunteers. Regular communication from a central source combined with a cascade of more localized information has become routine for announcing organizational change, managing crises, or keeping staff informed about what is happening across a large, complex organization.
The paper is available at http://www.ecnetwork.com/smartnotice/whitepaper.php.
The whitepaper is part of ECN’s organizational development resources, in addition to disaster recovery, business continuity and emergency planning consulting services provided by the company’s in-house emergency managers with more than 65 combined years of public safety experience.
