The HICS Hospital Incident Command System, an incident management framework for healthcare organizations. model (Planning, Response, Recovery) calls for preparation of incident command policies and procedures and easy access to them before, during, and after an incident. Electronic ICS provides a comprehensive, web-based document management system and repositories known as Libraries.
Libraries aid you in aspects of each area of incident planning. They serve as repositories for your emergency operations plans and as a means of tracking your organization's compliance with relevant entities.
Libraries are designed to store documents in a document file structure your organization designs and implements based on the industry standards for emergency preparedness and response. Your organization uses its libraries to securely share information with specific groups of users within and outside your organization.
In a library, you can share documents as you might on an Intranet or network. If you have the appropriate permissions, you can also create new folders, upload documents, and more. The library automatically retains and tracks versions of each document, enabling you to view the users who have changed the document and, if necessary, to view a previous version.
