Healthcare Coalition Incident Action Planning Process

Diagram illustrating how incident action plans (IAPs) from individual healthcare organizations are consolidated and coordinated through a healthcare coalition to support jurisdiction-level incident management.

At Tier 1, four individual Healthcare Organizations (HCOs) each develop their own HCO Incident Action Plan (IAP). Arrows show each HCO feeding information into its corresponding IAP.

The individual HCO IAPs are then submitted to a Coalition Clearinghouse Function, which serves as a central coordination and information-sharing mechanism. Arrows from each HCO IAP point upward to the clearinghouse.

At Tier 2, the coalition clearinghouse function consolidates information into a single HCO Coalition IAP. An arrow points from the clearinghouse to the coalition IAP.

At Tier 3, the HCO Coalition IAP supports Jurisdiction Incident Management, shown by an arrow pointing upward from the coalition IAP to the jurisdiction level.

A note at the bottom states that the HCO coalition incident action plan may be a summary of critical points from individual HCO IAPs or simply a collection of the individual plans.

The diagram demonstrates how incident planning information flows from individual healthcare organizations through coalition coordination to support broader jurisdictional incident management and decision-making.
