    Author: Kim DH, Proctor PW, Amos LK.
    Journal: Nurs Clin North Am; 2002 Mar; 37(1):171-88, ix. PubMed ID: 11818271.
    Abstract:
    Recent changes in the Joint Commission Accrediting Hospital Organization (JCAHO) Environment of Care standards are forcing hospitals to revisit their disaster planning process. Emergency Management, a process that is familiar to municipal and industry planners is now part of hospital disaster planning. A framework for making the necessary changes to the hospital disaster plan is presented. Examples of tools that might be useful in the planning process are also included.
