Stanford OB Disaster Planning Toolkit

A Stanford Health Care multidisciplinary committee, consisting of obstetricians, obstetrical anesthesiologist, labor and delivery and postpartum nurses, created and tested in a simulated setting, a compilation of tools that can be employed in the event of a hospital disaster requiring evacuation. This toolkit uses the ‘TRAIN’ framework for patient evacuation needs assessment and addresses the evacuation of labor and delivery and antepartum units, and includes shelter in place plans for actively laboring patients.
