In addition to the HRSA grant application deadline, another important reason to consider Train for Emergency Management solutions is to assist in facilitating your organization's compliance with JCAHO Standards EC 1.4 and 2.9.1.

Additionally, this training provides the foundation for developing and delivering simulation/drill exercises at healthcare facilities. Training is delivered through a self-study e-learning platform that is both time and cost efficient.

By utilizing the HRSA and other grant monies available to your organization, Train for Emergency Management can assist your hospital in achieving emergency preparedness, including:

• Facilitate JCAHO Compliance in Environment of Care Standard 1.4 and Environment of Care Standard 2.9.1
