After-Action Report for Emergency Preparedness Compliance

After conducting a training exercise, providers subject to the CMS regulation on emergency preparedness are expected to write an after-action report to document their drill and identify ways to improve it, says Nora O’Brien, CEO of Connect Consulting Services. The goal of an after-action report, like the one below, “is to identify any gaps in the plan” (Emergency Preparedness: ‘Test Your Plan’; Infectious Diseases Are Added,RMC28, no. 26).
