Hospital AccreditationAll Caduceus Shield exercises are aligned with the various emergency management standards for hospital accreditation.
Homeland Security Exercise & Evaluation ProgramCaduceus Shield utilizes the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) system for exercise design, facilitation and evaluation. HSEEP compliant Exercise Evaluation Guides (EEG) are utilized to assess the various planning / preparedness, response and recovery capabilities and capacity of hospitals participating in all Caduceus Shield exercises. After Action Report / Improvement Plan - Inject Response ReportAn HSEEP compliant After Action Report / Improvement Plan (AAR / IP) is generated at the conclusion of all Caduceus Shield exercises. This report is based on an exercise specific Exercise Evaluation Guide and the observations and recommendations of an on-site evaluator. Each hospital will need to provide an internal evaluator for the exercise. In addition all responses to injects and descriptions of actions taken by exercise participants during a Caduceus Shield exercise are captured within the ONX System and exported to generate an Inject Response Report at the conclusion of the exercise. ASPR Fund UtilizationCaduceus Shield exercises are designed to meet all expectations associated with the utilization of The Department of Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary of Preparedness and Response (ASPR) funding requirements. Exercise ScenarioAt 8:15PM, the hospital ED receives a report from the Public Safety Access Point (PSAP). There has been a multi-vehicle accident on the major east west highway. Callers from the scene are reporting a tour bus, a tanker truck and several autos are involved. The tanker is leaking a noxious chemical.
