Be prepared.

The Champaign Regional Healthcare Coalition is a group of representatives from healthcare organizations and other related agencies that collaborate to share information, resources and expertise to our communities and region within the state of Illinois.

Our goal is to work with any and all affected areas and agencies involved in a disaster to assist with resources and expertise to mitigate and recover as quickly and safely as possible.

The coalition is funded by a federal hospital and coalition grant (ASPR HPP) and IDPH oversees every Illinois regional coalition’s grant requirements.

Champaign Regional HCC Group in Schaumburg

Schaumburg MeetingThe Champaign Regional Healthcare Coalition was well represented at recent IDPH Preparedness Summit.

This summit is a great place to network and learn the latest best practices in emergency preparedness and one of our own, Bill Wood was a presenter!

The HCC met on Wednesday morning.  The discussion centered around coalition needs for the next grant period.  Nothing was set in stone or voted on but all were asked to think “regionally” of needs.

Thanks to all who attended!

Tornado Preparedness for Healthcare Organizations

For most healthcare organizations located in the mid-west, tornados are one of our greatest vulnerabilities.

Tornado watches and warnings come often and because we are so accustomed to hearing these announcements, many of us become apathetic to responding in an effective manner to the threat.

Apathy creates mistakes. In the healthcare setting, a mistake may create injuries or loss of life. Below are a few tips to engage your staff in embracing the importance of tornado preparedness and their specific duties to react/respond to the event. read more

Winter Weather Preparedness for Healthcare Workers

It’s that time of year again, when the temperatures drop and snow begins to fall. That means it’s time to make a winter weather plan.

As you know, our patients depend on us in both the pre-hospital and hospital settings. We are often faced with extreme cold and heavy snowfall. But the truth is illness and injury do not cease in bad weather. Because our community and patients depend on us, it is important that we as healthcare providers develop a personal winter weather plan to optimize our ability to arrive to our work locations safely. read more

Plain Language vs. Emergency Codes

For many years hospitals have used emergency code terms to announce emergencies within the hospital and within the community that may affect the hospital. Currently, there are no regulatory standards for these codes so many hospitals make up their own. They are confusing, and ambiguous. The use of plain language is obvious and transparent to all. Transparency in a crisis situation is paramount for effective emergency notification and the safety of our staff, patients and visitors.
