Philosophy
Conscious
of our responsibility to have a preparedness to meet the needs of the patients
and the community in disaster situations, we are committed to the development
of a disaster preparedness plan at the Department of Surgery of Ospital ng
Objectives
The
primary objective is to prepare the OMMC Surgery personnel for optimal performance
during times of disaster. The aims are to prevent death and injuries to
patients and hospital personnel; to avoid destruction to hospital properties;
and to render medical services to the largest possible number of patients
during a disaster.
The
secondary objective is to make the OMMC Surgery personnel aware of the
importance of the disaster preparedness plan, how it is executed, and the
benefits it provides.

Definition and Types of Disaster Faced by a Hospital and a Department of Surgery
Disaster
is any event that overwhelms the person or a group of persons facing it. The
overwhelming can be in terms of psychosocial impact, destruction of property,
injuries to or diseases of human beings, and scarcity of resources.
Any
event that is of a magnitude that overwhelms the administration of the hospital
(or the department) is a disaster in the hospital (or the department).
Red for critical care patients or classified as
priority one (
Yellow for acute care patients or classified as
priority two (Delayed)
Green for primary care patients or classified as
priority three (Minimal)
Depending
on the type and extent of disaster, the following disaster response teams and
codes are established as part of a disaster preparedness plan:
Team I surgical residents and interns
Team II surgical residents and interns
Team III surgical residents and interns
Code Red or Red Alert all teams are
physically present in the hospital
Code Yellow or Yellow Alert two teams are
physically present in the hospital
