Here are some top Security questions for providers.

What is a provider's role in a fire emergency?  

We ask all our associates, support staff and providers to utilize the RACE acronym when confronted by a fire situation. RACE stands for:

  • Rescue those in immediate danger 
  • Alarm by activating the nearest fire alarm pull station and dialing 1-6666. 
  • Contain the fire by closing all doors and windows to prevent the spread of smoke and fire. 
  • Extinguish the fire if safe to do so, otherwise Evacuate

In addition, it's important that all providers know how to use a fire extinguisher. Think the PASS acronym: 

  • Pull the pin
  • Aim at base of fire 
  • Squeeze the handle 
  • Sweep back and forth

Medical gas shutoff valve locations vary depending on department, but are labeled and typically located in corridors/hallways. Under authorization of the House Supervisor, Facilities and Respiratory Services are the only departments permitted to shut off medical gas valves. Contact the House Supervisor to call a Code RED as soon as you are alerted to a fire in your area. 

What is a provider's role during disasters?

The medical staff leaders assist with identifying volunteer providers as necessary, and provide oversight of the professional performance of volunteer practitioners who receive disaster privileges through: 

  • direct observation 
  • mentoring 
  • clinical record review
