Hospital administration is aware that staff may be reluctant to be called back to work in a disaster. How can the hospital be proactive in encouraging staff to make the decision to serve?
1. Develop a caring relationship with staff during normal times.
2. Develop a pay scale that offers double pay for all those who work during disasters.
3. Offer additional time off to those who work during a disaster.
4. Focus on the skills advancement opportunities that occur when working in a disaster.
1
Rationale 1: If staff members have a caring relationship and feel ownership of the hospital, they are more likely to respond in an emergency.
Rationale 2: Salary may not be a big enough incentive for those who are reluctant to leave family during a disaster.
Rationale 3: Time off in the future is not likely to be enough incentive to attract staff into a disaster situation.
Rationale 4: The opportunity to advance skills is not likely to attract many staff members back to work in a disaster.
