JCR and The Joint Commission to Host Emergency Preparedness Conference
The 2009 Annual Emergency Preparedness Conference: If It Happened Tomorrow, Is Your Community Ready? will help health care organizations prepare for the unexpected. The April 14-15 conference at the Omni Shoreham in Washington, D.C. is being presented by Joint Commission Resources (JCR), a non-for-profit affiliate of The Joint Commission.

This conference will highlight case studies focused on The Joint Commission’s “all-hazards” approach that drills down on six critical areas of emergency response—communication, resources, safety, staff, utilities and clinical activities for effective emergency management.

The conference will feature real-life examples of organizations that have dealt with emergencies, beginning with a keynote address by Commander Chris Yates of the U.S. Public Health Service that examines the federal response to Texas Hurricanes Gustav, Ike and Dolly. Conference participants will learn new processes, technologies, techniques and tools that offer sustainable strategies to achieve a level of preparedness sufficient to address a range of emergencies, regardless of the cause. Follow-up workshops will focus on how to apply concepts in participants’ organizations.

Participants who register at least 30 days prior to the conference receive a $100 discount on the $849 cost per person. Organizations with three or more participants at the conference may register for $629 per person. To register, please call JCR Customer Service at 1.877.223.6866.
