(HPP) Performance Measure Manual

HPP 15.1
Technical Assistance Guidance:
The phrase “successfully” tested as used in Data
Element #4 refers to meeting the objectives
specified in the drill or exercise.
Volunteers must actually deploy for the exercise.
Although the HPP FOA requires that all hospitals
and HCCs participate in at least one regional or
statewide exercise over the 5-year grant period,
an HCC must identify each year whether the HCC
and its members have participated in an exercise
or an event. The HCC is strongly encouraged to
participate in a yearly exercise or event if the
opportunity arises. If there was no event or
exercise, it must score ‘No’ because of no
opportunity.
The HCC does not have to be the lead organizer,
but the HCC must participate as an operational
entity.
Data Element #5:
Has the HCC successfully implemented “lessons
learned” and corrective action from this exercise
or event within the past year?
Technical Assistance Guidance:
The phrase “successfully” implemented as used in
Data Element #5 refers to meeting the objectives
specified in the drill or exercise.
To score a ‘Yes’ for this data element, the HCC
must have fully completed the outstanding
corrective actions from its formal AAR and any
other "lessons learned" that were due to be
completed during the reporting period, within the
time frames and at the level of correction and
completion, specified by the HCC.
If there was no event or exercise, it must score
‘No’ because of no opportunity.
Putting the pieces together
• Identify points of contact for local volunteer
coordination.
• Describe HCC rights, roles, and access to an
electronic registration system for recording
and managing volunteer information.
• Describe coordination activities with the State
and HCC members to develop plans,
processes and procedures to manage
volunteers.
• Evaluate the HCC s plans, processes and
procedures for managing volunteers through
tests and exercises.
• Identify and implement needed corrective
actions resulting from tests and exercises that
evaluate the HCC’s plans, processes and
procedures for managing volunteers.
Volunteer Management
It is the expectation that the HCC will be
participating in regional exercises. As such, the
HCC is responsible for successfully coordinating
and identifying all issues and is expected to
address all identified issues for which the HCC and
its HCOs have control.
The HCC and its HCOs are expected to establish
realistic, measureable, and time-specific
resolutions to mitigate items identified as part of
the corrective actions. All corrective actions must
be assigned a targeted completion date.
