a. Program Description: Inside a busy emergency room, staff is quickly working triage as seven new patients arrive. In an instant - the lights go out. An odd silence lasts only for a second. Then there are shouts of direction from all sides and the work of medical treatment continues. This is one of many on-site exercises taking place inside the Noble Training Facility at the Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) in Anniston, Alabama. Our July 22 Live Response looks at some of the unique hands-on training currently taking place at Noble – the only hospital facility in the nation dedicated solely to training hospital and healthcare professionals in disaster preparedness and response. The 162,000 square foot center includes classrooms, exercise/simulation areas and two prototype mass casualty decon lanes. Courses highlighted will include Pandemic Influenza Planning and Preparedness; Hospital Emergency Response Training for Mass Casualty Incidents and Healthcare Leadership Administrative Decision Making. We’ll look at how the CDP is now partnering with the DHS Office of Health Affairs and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to further enhance medical training being offered to first responders nationwide. The show will also include a fascinating round table discussion about the current state of disaster preparedness and how we are working to meet the challenges of future events in today’s healthcare world.
