title: Prepare for emergency management committee meeting as part of Joint Commission survey.
abstract: Accreditation surveys for larger hospitals will include an emergency management committee meeting and a disaster tracer. The plan will be reviewed in the hospital's incident command center, and the full incident command team will attend, he says. Staff will be asked about their roles in a disaster. All hospitals should have a plan for responding to biological and chemical disasters. Don't rely on drills alone; also use training.
