Whenever
an incident or an event happens, be it large or small, or if it is an
emergency, it requires certain management functions. These functions
include encountering of the problem, its evaluation, remedy plan for
it and the essential resources required. This whole planning system
is known as nursing
home incident command
system.
One
of the major components in the successful implementation of this
problem is management by objectives.
This includes both the control and operational period objectives. The
ICS is not a very old system as it was developed in the year 1970’s.
The need for it was evolved in the evaluation of major incidents
which revealed:
Management
of the incident was failing because:
- Lack of communication due to conflicting terminology.
- Lack of personnel accountability
- Inefficient planning process
Due
to these reasons, ICS was developed to manage the emergencies,
planned events, and incidents effectively. Avoiding any duplication,
providing logistical and administrative support, etc.
After
its initiation, it was developed for different sectors like health
ICS, fire
ICS,
etc. for effective and better management of the incidents.
