Health Emergency Operations Centres

An H-EOC is more than a physical location and information technology. It is a method of organising a response to a disaster or outbreak using a purpose-built incident management system with defined command, control, coordination and communication structures that compliment your existing organisation.

Your Health Emergency Operations Centre is where robust processes are implemented by a well-coordinated team. Your staff will be able to systematically track and pre-empt emerging risks ensuring timely and adequately resourced responses to critical incidents.

H-EOCs provide a communications hub, streamlining coordination internally and with partners and systematising reporting so that decision-makers are empowered with information in real-time.

Our team can rapidly establish or enhance Health Emergency Operations Centres that are suited to organisational requirements, are scalable and adaptable to the situation at hand.
