Surge Capacity and the Role of Hospitals

Case Assignment

Medical surge refers to the ability of a medical community to respond to the increased need of medical care following a disaster or emergency. This also includes the
ability of health care organizations to respond to this need with minimally impacting care to others already within the health care system. Hospitals could easily be
overwhelmed without proper preparation in a mass casualty event.

Assignment

You are the Emergency Disaster Planning consultant hired by a local hospital. Click: Inter Hospital/Agency Collaboration and view the scenario. There are mass
causalities incoming. The hospital safety officer is activating a system-wide alert and Level 1 Triage. After viewing and listening to conversations of how the staff
are handling incoming causalities, make a list of all areas needing attention. Then write your finding with suggestions on how to improve each deficiency. Be sure to
cite the background readings to support your suggestions. Failure to do so will impact your final grade.

Assignment Expectations

Use information from your module readings/articles as well as appropriate research to support your selection.

Length: The Case Assignment should be 3-5 pages long (double-spaced).

References: At least three references must be included from academic sources (peer-reviewed journal articles). Required reading is included. Quoted materials should
not exceed 10% of the total paper (since the focus of these assignments is critical thinking). Use your own words and build on the ideas of others. Materials copied
verbatim from external sources must be enclosed in quotation marks. In-text citations are required as well as a list of references at the end of the assignment. (APA
format is recommended.)

Organization: Subheadings should be used to organize your paper according to the questions.

Format: APA format is recommended for this assignment.

Grammar and Spelling: While no points are deducted for minor errors, assignments are expected to adhere to standard guidelines of grammar, spelling, punctuation, and
sentence syntax. Points may be deducted if grammar and spelling impact clarity.

Module 3 – SLP ( Writer: Please write 2 pages for this assignment

Surge Capacity and the Role of Hospitals

You are a new employee at your county Emergency Management Agency (EMA). Your county suffers a devastating earthquake, knocking out the power grid and causing
widespread damage to buildings and infrastructure. It is also at the peak of the regular influenza season. You are assigned as your agency’s liaison to the County
Public Health Department (PHD). Unfortunately, your county EMA and PHD have a history of “working in silos.” However, in this emergency, you are going to need to work
together in order to serve the population. As your first task, you are asked to prepare a PowerPoint presentation for the EMA team, to help educate those that have
limited knowledge about public health and disasters.

You will create several slides in each module, so by Module 4, you will have a complete presentation.

For Module 3, please create several slides that address the following:

Define Medical Surge
Define Medical Surge Capacity
Define Medical Surge Capability
Explain the MSSC System
Explain how the MSSC System relates to ICS
SLP Assignment Expectations

Prepare a PowerPoint presentation (at least 5 slides) including speaker’s notes (you will be penalized if your speaker’s notes are not included).

Include a reference list at the end in a concluding slide. Also, provide the necessary citations in your presentation/speaker’s notes.

Additional Resources

What are speaker notes?

As you recall, the PowerPoint slides should only give your audience some key points about the topic. You should not try to “cram” your slides full of information.
Speaker’s notes can help the presenter remember everything that he or she wants to say about a particular slide.

How do I make speaker’s notes?

Follow these simple steps to add speaker’s notes to your PowerPoint presentation:

Open your PowerPoint presentation
Go to the “View” menu and select the “Notes” page.
The notes page will be small, so you will have to go to the “View” menu again and select “Zoom” in order to make them bigger. Select the percentage of zoom that you
want (the higher the percentage, the larger the page will become).
Click inside the notes page and begin typing your speaker notes.
Continue doing this on each slide until your speaker notes are written.
Once you have finished writing your speaker notes, save your presentation and it is ready to be graded.
