ICMC Co-Founder, Rob Burton, discusses criteria and benchmarking for crisis simulation exercises in this short video.
Evaluation Criteria
The following tables contain an example evaluation criteria. The criteria are function-based and reflect the aim and objectives of the exercise. A simple yes/no answer in the column “Satisfied / Not Satisfied” is insufficient and not acceptable. Detail is important, particularly in justifying a “Not Satisfied” assessment but also for describing a strength.
On completion of evaluation, the evaluation team must be able to quantify, as objectively as possible, the answers to the following questions:
- Was the emergency organization and network capable of coordinating and facilitating the response to a severe emergency event, or a number of concurrent emergencies?
- Did organization and network use effective processes and procedures?
