Education & Exercise Group

This Group shall promote the development of a common culture among the leaders and staff of healthcare organizations regarding emergency preparedness. This Group shall coordinate Coalition's activities and promote well integrated response plans for hospitals involving Federal, State, and Local agencies. This group shall also coordinate exercises regionally to reduce exercise fatigue, combine resources and share best practices. The Coyote Collaborative efforts will report through this group to ensure activities are aligned.

This Group shall also identify education and training opportunities to help hospitals prepare for, respond to, and recover from an emergency or disaster; shall coordinate Coalition's activities with regional and state authorities for training and education. To meet this objective, a region-wide training needs assessment should be conducted to identify gaps and shortcoming in hospital readiness. The results of the training needs assessment will be used to establish long term training goals, as well as to identify existing training resources available in the short term.
