Webinar Description:

The most common mass fatality incidents are a result of natural or man-made, high energy events that automatically place the decedents under the authority of the Medical Examiner or Coroner in the jurisdiction where the deaths occur. However, in most jurisdictions, large life loss resulting from naturally occurring disease is outside of the mandate for local forensic authorities. Is your hospital prepared to manage institutional deaths in numbers that completely overwhelm the established protocols for routine decedent care?

This webinar will provide the insights and tools needed to manage a hospital based mass fatality incident.

  • Hospital Administration, Staff Managers, Clinical Staff with patient management responsibility and medical examiner and coroner personnel with hospital support obligations

  • Identify mass fatality incidents that Medical Examiners or Coroners may not manage
