What happens when the emergency isn’t just happening in the hospital, but to the hospital itself?

From TV dramas to movies, we’ve all seen the chaos of a hospital during a crisis. But real-world healthcare emergency management looks a little different. In this episode, we take a behind-the-scenes look at how hospitals prepare for disasters, who makes the decisions when things go wrong, and how teams coordinate when the pressure is on.

Hear about the role of emergency management in healthcare, how hospitals plan for everything from mass casualty incidents to infrastructure challenges, and the teamwork required to keep patients, staff, and the community safe.
