description

The region is looking to introduce a standardised nationally approved evacuation process for all East of England trusts.

An evacuation system is required in response to national procedure (NHS Shelter and evacuation guidance 2015) and is intended to provide a systematic approach for the evacuation of patients, ensuring an appropriate chain of care and the traceability of where patients have been displaced, whether onsite or offsite to an alternative care provider The tool needs to be applicable for all hospital evacuation scenarios, including RAAC, fire, flood, or infrastructure failures and once in place would strengthen EPRR preparedness in relation to hospital evacuation planning and be supported by the regional patient distribution system and coordination architecture.

A paper-based system that supports the standard evacuation and tracking of patients across the region and uses the NEWS 2 (national early warning score for assessment of unwell patients) as its parameters which results in the tool putting patients into priority categories
