Evaluation is at least as important as education and training. By systematical processing the conclusions of the evaluations in the Emergency Response Programme, the Programme remains actual. The Management Team of the Major Incident Hospital organizes evaluation meetings. For the evaluation representatives are invited who were involved during the relief.
Maximal 64 hours after the relief of victims a evaluation meeting is held. The chairman of the Commanding Team leads the meeting. Within two weeks after this meeting the evaluation will be finished from the Major Incident Hospital. The Management Team of the Major Incident Hospital is responsible for the stocktaking of results, experiences and problems because of an excercise or real relief of victims.
This act of taking inventory is processed in a report for the Board of Directors of the Major Incident Hospital.
This report reports of the following cases:
- The type and size of the (fictitious or real) mass casualty incident.
- A chronological view of the relief and quality of the relief.
- Problems which are arised during the implementation of the Ermergency Response Programme.
- Recommendations to prevent these problems the next time.
On occasion the Board of Directors achieves political or organic adaptations in the Emergency Response Programme. The Management Team of the Major Incident Hospital provides adaptation of parts of the Emergency Response Programme and informs the Management Teams. The Public Relations Department provides announcement via the central Newsletter of UMC Utrecht and CMH and via the intranet of both organizations.
