The North Central Florida HealthCare Coalition is pleased to provide a Tabletop Exercise for member organizations. This Exercise is being conducted to assist member organizations in complying with new CMS rules regarding exercise participation.
This exercise will be a comprehensive discussion-based tabletop exercise with an open discussion led by an exercise facilitator. The scenario will be centered on an emergency event with cascading events impacting the whole community. The narrated discussion will present a series of scenarios with accompanying problem statements designed to challenge providers’ and suppliers’ Emergency Plans.
Participants will be challenged to assess their plans, policies, and procedures related to the CMS Emergency Preparedness Rule requirements for Medicare and Medicaid participating providers and suppliers. Key personnel and community stakeholders will be discussing the protective actions based on the emergency scenarios.
Participating organizations will walk away having identified strengths and areas for improvement within their Emergency Plan. Exercise staff will provide participants with an After-Action Report (AAR) overview and document template that can be completed by individual facilities.
