  • Title: Review of hospital preparedness instruments for National Incident Management System compliance.
    Author: Jenkins JL, Kelen GD, Sauer LM, Fredericksen KA, McCarthy ML.
    Journal: Disaster Med Public Health Prep; 2009 Jun; 3(2 Suppl):S83-9. PubMed ID: 19491593.
    Abstract:
    No standard exists by which to evaluate a hospital's compliance for the National Incident Management System (NIMS). The instruments available and in use today for the evaluation of hospital preparedness have variable adherence to the principles and elements set forth in NIMS. This is especially evident in the areas of command and management and communications and information management. The use of NIMS as a standard remains itself in question because of its lack of focus on the health care environment and incomplete list of pertinent elements.
