Command Staff Overview
The activities at the Hospital Command Center (HCC) are directed by the Incident Commander, who has overall responsibility for all activities within the Hospital Command Center (HCC). The Incident Commander may appoint other Command Staff personnel to assist:
- The Public Information Officer (PIO) will be responsible for coordinating information sharing inside and outside the facility.
- The Safety Officer will monitor hospital response operations to identify and correct unsafe practices.
- The Liaison Officer will be the hospital link to outside agencies. In some cases one Liaison Officer may be at the HCC while a second one is assigned to represent the hospital at the local EOC or field incident command post.
- Medical/Technical Specialists are persons with specialized expertise in areas such as the infectious disease, legal affairs, risk management, and medical ethics who may be asked to provide the Incident Command staff with needed advice and coordination assistance.
