The Shared Health ECM Program directly supports this position to provide best practice for HSC's Emergency and Continuity Management activities.
Working as part of a team, the Clinical and Support Services ECM Specialist will anticipate and respond to events that threaten continuity of health services delivery at HSC. These events include any events that impact the standard of patient care, high media interest, clinical and non-clinical functions, natural disasters such as extreme weather and flooding, public health emergencies; mass casualty incidents; environmental emergencies and critical infrastructure failures. The position maintains emergency response plans, conducts simulation exercises, liaises with key stakeholders and programs, and monitors and assesses potential risks and vulnerabilities. In the event of an extraordinary circumstance, threat, or any situation that has the potential to compromise normal operations, the Clinical and Support Services ECM Specialist provides guidance and support to HSC in their activation and coordination of all resources necessary to sustain health service activities. Depending on the scope and complexity of the circumstance or threat, HSC may activate an Emergency Operations Centre and use the Incident Command System to support planning, response, and recovery efforts.
An extensive Emergency Management network is sustained involving partners from Service Delivery Organizations, Provincial and Federal Emergency Management agencies and not for profit Emergency Management organizations. These relationships can be used to help coordinate a response. The scale and scope of the emergency event will determine the level of involvement from each of the network partners, allowing flexibility in the use of the most appropriate resources.
