'Audio conference delivers actual "model terrorism plan" meeting the new 2003 JCAHO standards as documented by a recent mock survey'

Developed using an 'all-hazards' approach to disaster management, the model plan embodies mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery - exactly what JCAHO surveyors will look for in 2003 onsite visits. This model plan was implemented in an actual 4-hour community-wide exercise emphasizing communication and coordination among 42 other organizations.

LeRoy Deabler, former Joint Commission Surveyor, rates High Point Regional Health System's Emergency Preparedness and Terrorism Plan with an outstanding rating on a recent "Mock" survey. The following is a quote from the survey findings & recommendations.

"The progress with bioterrorism prevention and the hazardous vulnerability assessment is outstanding." "It will serve as a model for benchmarking to be used by other hospitals and healthcare facilities for their needs in safety." "The community wide emergency preparedness drill was very effective, and it fully meets all applicable JCAHO standards."
