Risk Management Definition• The identification, assessment, and
prioritization of risks followed by a coordinated application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability and/or impact of unfortunate events.
Parsons, 2013

Costs• GAO in 1999 -- estimated costs for 10 years
sustainability for a city of 500,000 – basic capabilities to be $4.6 million – $43 million for higher capability
GAO, 1999

Costs• Incident 1:– 3 chemically contaminated patients– 2 ED nurses contaminated– Decontamination– ED closure for 4 hours– $6,000 ($1000 each for police & traffic control,
$4000 for fire; no hospital expense reported)

• Villanova PA – university 10 students in a chem lab – three chemicals, 230 firefighters responded. One injured student to hospital contaminated; others on scene – everyone fled the building ???decon all
• Rhode Island Feb 2013 – 2 firefighters hospitalized – toluene – docs and nurses brought in to decontaminate
• 10 hospitalized, 50 evacuated in temple square, salt lake city – janitor mixed chemicals – no reports of decontamination

Myths of Decontamination• All exposed persons will be decontaminated at
the scene• Contaminated patients will not be transported
by ground or air ambulances• Hospitals will always receive notice when
contaminated patients are being transported• Medical decontamination does not require
special training
![Page 22: Decon: Tag, You’re It! Deborah J Persell, PhD, RN, CNP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cfa5503460f949cc448/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Assumptions• Self-referred contaminated patients will not have
been decontaminated in the field • The hospital will be responsible for providing the
detailed or technical decontamination• Gross field decontamination does not address this
level of care• Gross or hasty decontamination may cause
inadequate removal of contaminant, hypothermia• Hospitals reluctant to spend money on low
probability eventsStopford, 2005
![Page 23: Decon: Tag, You’re It! Deborah J Persell, PhD, RN, CNP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cfa5503460f949cc448/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Common Responses• “We don’t provide that capability”• “We lock the door and call the fire
department” • “To a variety of Level A, B, or C
Stopford, 2005

Hospital Preparedness Capabilities• Capability #10 – Medical Surge
• Function 3 – Assist healthcare organizations with surge capacity and capability– P9 – Decontamination assistance to healthcare organizations– E3 – Decontamination assets– S2 – Decontamination training
ASPR, 2012
![Page 25: Decon: Tag, You’re It! Deborah J Persell, PhD, RN, CNP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cfa5503460f949cc448/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Capability #14 – Responder Safety & Health• Function 2 – Provide assistance to healthcare
organizations with additional access to PPE for healthcare workers in the response– P1 – PPE needs assessment– P2 – PPE caches– P3 – PPE supply and dispensing– E1 – PPE for healthcare workers– S1 – PPE training
ASPR, 2012

Gap Analysis • Decon a universal gap across the state– Size/scope of hospital– Staff Turnover– Maintenance of equipment & supplies– Storage of equipment & supplies– Training– Belief that decon occurs at scene and not a
hospital function– EOP to call someone else
![Page 27: Decon: Tag, You’re It! Deborah J Persell, PhD, RN, CNP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cfa5503460f949cc448/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Case Law r/t hospital decontamination

• 18 patients Lack of decontamination Cruzfeld Jacob

Consequences of Intentional Misconduct
• Civil Court = Malpractice
• Criminal Court = Felonious misconduct
• Administrative hearing = Adverse licensure or certification action

Types of Contamination
ChemicalBiologicalRadiologicalNuclearExplosive
![Page 30: Decon: Tag, You’re It! Deborah J Persell, PhD, RN, CNP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cfa5503460f949cc448/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Contributing Factors to Contamination Levels• Fire, spill or leak• Terrain• Risk to people, property or environment• Need for immediate rescue• Resources required for rescue and containment• Additional personnel requirements• PPE requirements• Population evacuation
![Page 31: Decon: Tag, You’re It! Deborah J Persell, PhD, RN, CNP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cfa5503460f949cc448/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Types of Contamination• Primary – direct transfer from source to
person or object
• Secondary – transfer from person or object to another person or object
Blackwell, Brennan & DeAtly,
![Page 32: Decon: Tag, You’re It! Deborah J Persell, PhD, RN, CNP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cfa5503460f949cc448/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Decontamination
“Process of removing or deactivating harmful contaminates from surfaces of persons or objects by dilution or physical measures.”
Blackwell, Brennan & DeAtly, p 197
![Page 33: Decon: Tag, You’re It! Deborah J Persell, PhD, RN, CNP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cfa5503460f949cc448/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Types of Decontamination• Wet• Dry• Gross• Medical• Technical• Emergency
![Page 34: Decon: Tag, You’re It! Deborah J Persell, PhD, RN, CNP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cfa5503460f949cc448/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Evidence-Based Decontamination• GAO – lack of definitive evidence• HPP – anecdotal; based on traditional HAZMAT
response• Estimates, not evidence• Models exist but are not consistent, reproducible nor
measureable• Challenging to know when to rotate staff – Temperature– Rigor– Humidity
![Page 35: Decon: Tag, You’re It! Deborah J Persell, PhD, RN, CNP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cfa5503460f949cc448/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Best Practices• HVA• LEPC Involvement• Capability of rapid decontamination system• Fixed external decontamination system• System for walk-ins• PPE based on HVA• Ancillary staff for decon team
Stopford, 2005
![Page 36: Decon: Tag, You’re It! Deborah J Persell, PhD, RN, CNP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cfa5503460f949cc448/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
There’s an App for That
• Paper resources• Computer Databases• Internet Resources• Poison Control Center• Apps
![Page 37: Decon: Tag, You’re It! Deborah J Persell, PhD, RN, CNP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cfa5503460f949cc448/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Index of Suspicion(Detection)• History– Medical– Occupational– Alarms– EMS
• Presentation including toxidromes• Situational Awareness – News– Reports from other hospitals/within hospital
![Page 38: Decon: Tag, You’re It! Deborah J Persell, PhD, RN, CNP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cfa5503460f949cc448/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• Sutter et al (2010) found that 87% of hazmat incidents involving patient transport were not reported to poison control centers– 9.7% within 360 minutes (6 hours)– 2.6% within 360- 1440 minutes (6-24hours)– 0.7% after 4320 minutes (72 hours)
