The Healthcare Training Center (HTC) Monthly Webinar Series is a collaborative training initiative designed to plumb the depths of all-hazards preparedness and response. Each month, guest lecturers will lend subject-matter expertise to particular topics that materially impact Healthcare Emergency Preparedness Coalitions. As a compliment to traditional, “pre-approved” training, these 60-90 minute engagements will provide focused insight on best-practices, regulatory updates, training, incident management, and personal accounts of real-world responses. Derived from Hospital Preparedness Program capabilities, this virtual series will take a comprehensive approach to preparing for, responding to, and recovering from a wide variety of high-stakes, healthcare challenges.

eFINDS is a tracking system/application on the Health Commerce System (HCS) that should be used by a healthcare facility in the event of an emergent, urgent or planned evacuation. The application captures minimal amounts of data and allows facilities to track the patient/resident movement to other facilities, facility types or temporary shelters.

Hospitals that need to build capacity or need to replace an eFINDS facility-based trainer who can no longer fulfill this responsibility should send a staff person to this training.
