Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP)

A Healthcare CEMP is the overarching plan that details a facility’s operations when an emergency has occurred. It is essential this plan is thorough, practical and meets all appropriate requirements set forth by the regulatory agency. A CEMP is truly a document that can save lives which is why it warrants a need for annual review and maintenance.

Emergency Environment Control Plan (EECP)

An EECP plan provides information on the alternate power source (generator) at your facility. Currently, only Assisted Living Facilities and Nursing Homes are required to submit this plan with their CEMP.
