(2) Face-to-face training workshops have been conducted as shown in the slide. As EMI needs to form multidisciplinary teams and so training has been conducted for functional facilitators (health professionals), nonstructural assessors (architects), and structural assessors (civil/structural engineers). Some workshops were a combination of functional and non-structural. When the project started, the workshop was designed to have all three professionals together. However, the training of engineers was delayed because there were no takers. EMI thanks all who responded to the call. Slide 6 While actual assessments have started in September as soon as teams were formed and hospital administrators indicated when the assessment may be done. The assessment could continue until February 2013, should there be few assessors to visit hospitals. To date, the assessment proceeds at the rate of two hospitals per week. EMI looks forward to the time when up to 14 assessments are conducted simultaneously in the 8 regions of Luzon every week. This blended learning approach is being done to generate non-structural and structural assessors. It is conducted only until December 15. Should there be a need for the other types of assessors, the same training mode may be adopted. It is essential that all three coordinate their activities well and may at some point in time, meet in order to exchange notes and insights. Slide 7 Future tasks include the review and analysis of collated assessment data. Comments and information gathered from the hospital management and personnel will be synthesized while sound practices are documented. Gaps in each hospital and in the regions are studied. Recommendations will be based on the analysis. An assessment report will be submitted to DOH, and DOH shall then disseminate the results and findings in a manner it see appropriate. EMI and the project team are bound to a confidentiality clause and may not reveal specific findings and observation to anyone or any organization, including the hospital administration. Slide 8 The project team members are introduced here. All who undertake the assessment training and sign a letter of engagement (in the case of individuals) or contract (in the case of a firm) will form part of the assessment teams and thus the project team. EMI has a memorandum of understanding with the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) which promotes advocacy for hospitals. It has agreed to make architects available for training and become part of the assessment teams. Architects joining the teams shall earn credits for the renewal of license to practice. UAP also continues to conduct courses in hospital planning and management for the career development of its members.
