Download or read book Limited Resource Command System written by James Steven Gowans and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hospital Incident Command System (HICS) is an incident management system patterned after the publicly used Incident Command System. The Joint Commission requires all hospitals to use a type of incident management system, and the HICS meets this requirement. The HICS organization chart, which is the same as the National Incident Management System organization chart, outlines dozens of different positions, ranging from the Incident Commander (IC) to the front line workers. HICS is designed to be scalable to fit large or small emergencies, as well as adjusted for the number of personnel used. However, experience has shown small hospitals with limited personnel must adapt the HICS by combining roles and prioritizing responsibilities. A tool has been developed which combines the multiple HICS positions into a three-position command center. This tool, entitled Limited Resource Command System (LRCS), combines the roles and prioritizes the responsibilities of those three command center members. The purpose of this study was to compare the challenges and strengths of the LRCS with the traditional HICS Incident Management Team to determine if the LRCS is more applicable in small hospitals. The individual components of the LRCS, which are: dividing responsibilities and prioritizing tasks, were also evaluated to assess their appropriateness. The results of the study demonstrated that staff in small hospitals agree that HICS is difficult to manage in their hospitals due to the limited number of personnel available. The LRCS, though still challenging, was successful in helping to mitigate the challenges of the HICS and was felt to be more applicable in the small hospital settings.
