Hi, I have 2 of my classmate posts. I need you to respond to each one separately. , one source at least for each one of them.

about
how good their posts or how bad.

need
to do is to choose one point of the post and explore it a little bit with one source support for each response. The paper should be APA style

the
question was:

Comment on one of the key findings described in the Toner et al document.

Identify other funding sources for your hospital emergency management projects.

this
is the first post from my

Sources of funding emergency management projects

A research on the level of preparedness of US hospitals since the establishment of the HPP in 2002 has depicted some findings open to discussion. One of the findings stands out explaining how disaster preparedness of individual hospitals has significantly improved throughout the country since the start of the HPP. Although not many hospitals participate in the HPP, hospitals have continued to show that they are the backbone of medical response to mass casualty emergencies and outlines key preparedness and response activities. Non practicing hospitals fail to join the program due to lack of adequate resources to rise up to the specification standards of the HPP hence some drop out of the program or never join at all. However, only a few

number
of hospitals have dropped out of the program.

HPP establishment has propelled a tremendous change in the medical sector and how hospitals are run disaster preparedness programs (Toner et al, 2009). In most hospitals leaders have recognized the Importance of disaster preparedness activities. Previously, hospitals never took into serious consideration the preparations and preparedness to manage emergencies. Concerns have been

disaster preparedness efforts. There has also been an increase in appointment of disaster coordinators who have helped in increasing the quality of hospitals planning efforts provide expert advice in preparation for disaster management.

In a nutshell, the program seeks to promote a sustainability of the level of preparedness in disaster management. However, sufficient funding is needed to allow for a better

will need to be increased in individual hospitals so as to facilitate a smooth running of activities. The individual hospitals also need to provide some of its financial resources and fix the program on its expenditure so as to increase its resources and effectiveness.

This is the second post from Afrah ,need

to
response:

Hospital preparedness program (HPP) initiates a great framework to manage and overcome from the disasters. One of the major key

finding
from the study of Toner et al is that hospitals are observed to improve the disaster preparedness after the HPP program throughout the United States. Hospital leaders and managing staff understand and value the worth of HPP, thus incorporate in their hospitals. It is found effective because it is observed to play role in preparedness standards, forum to connect hospitals in planning community wide, quality of decision making in terms of planning, trainings more detailed, realistic and tailored and most important for all awareness and communication is efficient. HPP programs

effect
the quality of regular hospital exercise also as it smoothens out the burden of any emergency.

The hospital emergency management projects

needs
to be run efficiently with technical and other communication equipment following certain set standards. As identified HPP programs define several platforms that develop a framework for the country’s hospitals in managing disasters. Healthcare Coalitions allow

hospital managing
staff to co-ordinate and fund the emergency services required. Training for the preparedness can be funded through different institutions to regulate individual healthcare role and responsibilities effectively.

Concluding it HPP programs

include
a variety of options that prepare hospitals for emergency response. The effective communication and following roles and responsibilities over set standards ensure better health and safety. The planning for catastrophic

events also is
included with

complete assessment
of goals and direction at

national level
.
