Bob's Bio

Overview:

This symposium will offer professionals operating healthcare facilities or providing solutions to healthcare facilities a comprehensive understanding of how to manage people and resources, particularly data, during a crisis.  The 2019 Healthcare Facility Symposium (HFS 2019) will feature an immersive, interactive presentation entitled “The Disaster Experience”.  The Disaster Experience is ninety-minute tabletop disaster simulation designed to give facility engineers the experience of dealing with unexpected crisis and disruption. The HFS 2019 Disaster Experience will focus on a natural disaster scenario.  Attendees will enhance their crisis communications and decision-making skills while taking away the knowledge to improve their own disaster planning and response capabilities. Furthermore, during HFS 2019, attendees will gain detailed knowledge on securing data during a crisis and recovering data after a disaster as well as refresh their understanding of air quality and water safety standards applicable to healthcare facilities.
