Our emergency and pubic health initiative focuses on readiness and engagement to help ensure every hospital has an improving level of preparedness for health and medical emergencies. By providing linkages to  your local emergency medical services and public health agencies as well as access to services like ReddiNet®, our emergency communications system, HASC is building an integrated emergency response system to enhance your capacity to prepare for and respond to emergencies.

Hospital and public safety pose unique challenges. Facilities and organizations must balance the open campus environment with the protection needs of the hospital’s patients, employees, and other assets. The Hospital Association of Southern California works to strengthen hospital preparedness and responses to public safety threats, producing the standardized codes widely adapted by hospitals in California and pursuing legislation that helps protect the care environment. Here you’ll find information and resources to help manage risk and keep your facility safe. 

Maintaining a secure, safely run hospital that complies with regulatory requirements is of utmost importance.  HASC’s Hospital Operations and Performance Excellence (HOPE) initiative identifies trends affecting the safety and security of patients, visitors, employees and property so you can maximize resources for efficient patient flow and greater patient satisfaction. 

Diversify your revenue sources, secure your long-term viability, improve access, and maintain or expand your services to vulnerable populations with these flexible and highly effective reimbursement solutions and transitional care programs. HASC connects you with the right public health agencies to deliver tools and resources that meet your business goals and patients’ needs.
