This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to maintain daily operations and patient care services, health care facilities need to develop an Emergency Water Supply Plan (EWSP) to prepare for, respond to, and recover from a total or partial interruption of the facilities' normal water supply. Water supply interruption can be caused by several types of events such as natural disaster, a failure of the community water system, construction damage or even an act of terrorism. Because water supplies can and do fail, it is imperative to understand and address how patient safety, quality of care, and the operations of your facility will be impacted.

Download or read book An Examination of the Emergency Water Supply of Healthcare Facilities in Southeast Louisiana written by Charles Canan and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water is a crucial commodity, especially in the aftermath of disaster events. Healthcare facilities, such as hospitals, require a water supply for both every day and emergency processes. As required by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), healthcare facilities must stock a sufficient amount of water for medical services following disaster events. The purpose of this research is to explore the capabilities of healthcare facilities regarding the water supply for emergency purposes. The study investigated the usage and preparedness trends of water supply in two hospitals in Southeast Louisiana. The hospitals selected for research allowed for comparing and contrasting of the capabilities of hospitals located in urban versus rural environments. The study identifies key issues and trends in the emergency water supply systems at the two hospitals. Common themes identified include the disparity of needs between the hospitals in their respective environments, an adaptive capacity in addressing emergency preparedness, and the need for spontaneous improvisation during crisis. The research also identifies future research opportunities, such as improved recommendations of salient rationing of resources and increasing use of cost-benefit reservoirs or water acquisition means. The improvement of the emergency water supply capability can be improved through collaboration with local emergency preparedness organizations, construction of water towers on or near hospital grounds, and the use of synergetic water reservoir capacity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of the 2012 Update of the Oklahoma Comprehensive Water Plan (2012 OCWP Update), the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) has prepared this Public Water Supply Planning Guide to assist public water supply systems in developing plans to meet their specific long-term water needs. While the guide may be most useful for smaller systems that have not prepared water supply plans in the past, the outlined steps and processes for planning are applicable to any size system.; The purpose of this guide is not to provide a single solution that fits every system, but to develop a framework for long-range water system planning. This framework includes collecting data, determining if there are gaps between the existing system and future needs, and developing and assessing strategies to close the gap.; This guide will help identify how public water systems can use the technical information provided by 13 OCWP Watershed Planning Region reports (OCWP Regional Reports) that were published in 2012. These reports present elements of OCWP technical studies pertinent to each of the states 82 surface water basins (aggregated into 13 planning regions). Each report contains information from both a regional and multiple basin perspective, including water supply/demand analysis results, forecasted supply shortages, potential supply solutions and alternatives, and supporting technical information
