Join the Caduceus Shield Exercise Initiative LinkedIn group today. TestimonialsHospitals have been participating in ONX System exercises since May 2010. Here is what hospital emergency managers and others are saying about using the ONX System. 
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 1:37PM residents throughout the area begin to feel the ground roll and shake. Initial seismic reports indicate that a 7.1 magnitude earthquake occurred along the area’s major fault, which runs the length of a multi-county region from the wilderness area in the east through numerous small to mid-sized communities in the western part of the region.
