DPRO believes that providers working in the field of emergent patient care have a genuine dedication to education, training, and quality improvement as well as the desire to provide the highest level of care. Historically, disaster exercises have failed to offer simulated victims or appropriate exercise scenarios that engage or challenge healthcare providers in a way that is similar to that which they truly expect to see during a major event. This inability to engage healthcare providers in disaster exercises has fostered a perspective that exercises are a nuisance rather than an opportunity for learning and improvement. At DPRO, we believe that by providing accurate clinical scenarios coupled with appropriate utilization of casualties, health care providers will be challenged and engaged in the exercise process which will ultimately result in improved delivery of care during times of surge, disaster, and potentially catastrophic events.
Additionally, very few hospital disaster preparedness tools are available that promote an environment of self assessment and continuous quality improvement. Our design team has developed and refined through exercise use, several tools to assist with exercise flow, patient tracking, emergency response planning, and casualty care. These tools can be adapted to most response agencies desiring to improve their response capabilities.
