Science Challenges Within Healthcare Emergency Management Discussion Question Questions:
– Comment on one of the key findings described in the Toner et al document. – Identify other funding sources for your hospital emergency management projects. Introduction:
Nothing gets done until someone approves an expenditure and writes the check. Emergency management in any hospital is expensive. While some of those expenses must be borne directly by the facility, there are resources that can help – mostly from the feds. This week we will look at some of the grant money that is up for grabs and how to get our share.
