Simulated emergency drills are an effective method to train the entire office team in unanticipated events that may occur in the OMS office. AAOMS has recently recommended quarterly office mock drills for all member offices. OMSs face the challenge of getting buy-in from all of the team members and regularly incorporating these drills into a busy schedule. This session will teach tips, tricks and practical suggestions on how to make emergency drills a routine in the practice.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:
- Plan routine emergency drills in the OMS office.
- Create a schedule and different emergency scenarios in the office.
- Explain how to get buy-in from the entire team to participate in office mock drills.
