After this session you’ll be able to:

1. Define and implement a strong transfer protocol for an offsite ambulatory setting.
2. Identify offsite challenges for emergency management.
3. Design drill scenarios for regular review, practice, and cross-disciplinary debriefings.

Why this is important:

Preparing for emergencies in offsite ASC settings has become more important. A simple emergency transfer protocol with local ambulance services and hospital affiliations is key and can be established long before a new facility opens. There will always be situations that cannot be anticipated. However, Gallant and Souza have developed processes that can help you before you encounter that great unknown.

Learn from the speakers’ 10 years of experience in implementing emergency preparedness processes. They will discuss how to collaborate across systems to establish protocols and relationships that support a variety of emergent situations. From vascular emergency drills that involve two large facilities to the start of an onsite simulation experience, they will share their journey to success while imparting tips and tricks to make your ASC a safer place.
