CRITICAL ASPECTS IN HEALTHCARE

Healthcare sector needs to be always prepared for any emergency that might occur on
the premises. To be prepared means keeping the continuity of offering services move on
smoothly. The joint commission provides several aspects of dealing with an emergency.
These aspects are said to be critical because in case of their absence the employees may fail
to execute their duties during the time of emergency. Strong aspects of dealing with
emergencies portray good leadership in the institution
The first critical aspect is the utility management. Utilities in the healthcare sector are
items that keep the provision of services keep going forward. The joint commission provides
that the emergency plan need to have alternatives to such tools (Mullen, 2013). For example,
electricity is a vital utility that runs all the processes in the hospital. A power failure may
disrupt many activities in the facility. Therefore the hospital needs to over generators that will
substitute electricity power failure. The machines used need to total inspections more often
and if they can have more machines, they will be of importance during an emergency.
The second aspect is the patient clinical and support activities. This is a critical aspect
during an emergency because the facility that has good trackers of their patients can use this
technology to track patients sheltered in the facility during an emergency (Patient Support
Services 2008). It is vital to organize the staff that will cover each department to ensure that
the base is well protected. In case of an emergency, the organization can safely evacuate the
patients to a safe place since they have their records.
