ASTM E 2413 Document Information:
Title
Standard Guide for Hospital Preparedness and Response
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Nov 1, 2004
Scope:
This guide covers concepts, principles, and practices of an
all-hazards comprehensive emergency
management program for the planning, mitigation, response, recovery,
and coordination of hospitals
in response to a major incident.
This guide addresses the essential elements of the scope, planning,
structure, application, and
coordination of federal, state, local, voluntary, and nongovernmental
resources necessary to the
emergency operations plan for a hospital.
This guide establishes a common terminology for hospital emergency
management and business
continuity programs necessary to fulfill the basic service
requirements of a hospital.
This guide provides hospital leaders with concepts of an emergency
management plan, but an
individual plan must be developed in synchrony with the community
emergency operations plan and the
National Incident Management System.
This guide does not address all of the necessary planning and response
of hospitals to an incident
that involves the near-total destruction of community services and
systems.
For the purposes of this guide, the definition of hospital will be the
current definition provided
by the American Hospital Association for an acute care facility.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
requirements prior to use.
