The Center for Preparedness and Emergency Response Solutions (CPERS) conducts planning, training, and exercise services for public health a medical care providers. The resources listed on the pages below are helpful to current healthcare and public health emergency managers. If you have any questions about CPERS, or the material below, reach out to us at cpers@unmc.edu.
Exercises
Conducting workshops, tabletops, drills, functional and full-scale exercises is part of the healthcare and public health emergency manager’s routine. CPERS developed these exercises as templates for public health and healthcare agencies. Please review them and modify them for your needs - one size does not fit all when it comes to exercise scope, objectives, and expected actions.
If you have any questions about the exercises on this page, please contact cpers@unmc.edu.
Hospital First Receiver (Hospital Decontamination)
Hospitals can receive patients that require decontamination prior to being admitted. This two-day training provides healthcare facilities with the skills needed to provide a high level of care for their patients, in addition to maintaining worker safety.
Hospital Incident Command
Hospitals follow the Incident Command System when responding to both internal and external crises. The resources on this page will help hospitals establish, maintain, and operate an incident command system.
If you have questions about the Hospital Incident Command material, or would like to schedule a training, please contact cpers@unmc.edu.
