HERT Training

HERT Training

The Hospital Emergency Response Training for Mass Casualty Incidents (HERT) course addresses healthcare response for a facility and its personnel. This course prepares healthcare responders to utilize the Hospital Incident Command System — integrating into the community emergency response network while operating an Emergency Treatment Area as hospital first responders during a mass casualty incident involving patient contamination. The healthcare responders will determine and use appropriate personal protective equipment and conduct triage followed by decontamination of ambulatory and non-ambulatory patients as members of a Hospital Emergency Response Team.
