Emergency Management

Barton Health has emergency management guidelines, including resource scarcity and surge planning, to meet our facility and community specifics and and have the ability to shift between short and long term crises.

Crisis Care Guideline Pre-Implementation Checklist

To remain prepared in case of emergency, Barton Health has a crisis checklist within our Emergency Operating Plan specific to Barton infrastructure, personnel, and emergency event(s) as applicable. Our comprehensive checklists include all items from the California Department of Public Health’s checklist.

Hospital Incident Command System

Per our Emergency Operation Plan (EOP), Barton Health will utilize the Hospital Incident Command System (HICS) when deemed necessary by hospital leadership. HICS ensures continuous incident monitoring, appropriate public health contacts, and a coordinated internal response.
