Know how your hospital will perform Before the incident does
Independent assessments, training, and exercises that show what is working, where risk remains, and what to improve next.
The readiness gap
A plan shows intent Readiness shows what works
A plan records intent. Readiness shows whether people can recognize the threat, make decisions, and act together under pressure.
Plans, policies, equipment inventories, assigned roles, training records, and scheduled exercises.
People recognize the problem, make decisions, coordinate across systems, and perform the mission under pressure.

D2EMC flagship assessment
Operational
Readiness Index™
A focused assessment that shows leaders what is working, where risk remains, and what to address first.
Sample ORI™ profile View the interactive example
Sample findings show current strengths alongside targeted gaps that need improvement and follow-up testing.
In this illustrative view, CBRN/HazMat Readiness receives focused leadership attention as a targeted improvement priority.
Sample values are for demonstration only. This view is advisory—not certification, accreditation, regulatory approval, or a compliance determination.
Illustrative composite ORI score: 72 out of 100. Priority gaps view selected.

ORI™ is administered and interpreted by D2EMC. It is advisory—not certification, accreditation, or regulatory approval. The assessment instrument and scoring methodology remain proprietary.

Three routes for one readiness mission
Begin with what leadership needs to know—or prove—next. Each path can stand alone or connect into a complete readiness cycle.
See readiness clearly
Begin with a focused preparedness snapshot or a D2EMC-administered ORI™ assessment to identify strengths, priority gaps, and the most useful next action.
Explore readiness assessmentsBuild skill where it matters
Strengthen hospital CBRN/HazMat, decontamination, first-receiver, PPE, and respiratory-protection performance through practical, hospital-specific training.
Discuss trainingTest decisions under pressure
Use HSEEP-consistent tabletop, functional, and full-scale exercises to evaluate command, coordination, communication, execution, and improvement actions.

Who we work with
Readiness for organizations that cannot afford to assume
Hospitals & Health Systems
ORI™, first-receiver readiness, decontamination, emergency operations, accreditation preparation, training, and exercises.
Fire, EMS & HazMat Teams
CBRN operations, PPE, medical monitoring, and multi-agency coordination.
Government & Coalitions
Regional planning, readiness assessment, exercises and improvement planning.
Business & Critical Infrastructure
Emergency plans, continuity, incident leadership, and operational exercises.
Disaster Medicine Institute
Evidence-based disaster medicine and CBRN education for clinical and field audiences.
SYGNAL
Realistic, repeatable, and measurable HazMat/CBRNE simulation supporting hands-on exercises without real hazards.
“The depth of knowledge on medical countermeasures, especially as they relate to CBRN and HazMat, is exceptional.”
Common leadership questions
Hospital operational readiness, clearly explained
Direct answers to the questions leaders ask before assessment, training, or exercise design begins.
01What does a hospital emergency management consultant do?
A hospital emergency management consultant assesses risks and critical systems, strengthens plans and teams, develops hospital-specific training, designs and evaluates exercises, and turns findings into prioritized actions for leadership.
02What is hospital operational readiness?
Hospital operational readiness is the demonstrated ability to activate emergency plans, make timely decisions, coordinate people and resources, and sustain safe operations during an incident. It examines what the organization can execute—not simply which documents it has completed.
03How is ORI™ different from a compliance checklist?
ORI™ is a proprietary, D2EMC-administered advisory assessment focused on observable operational performance. Leaders receive high-level findings and a focused improvement path—not the proprietary assessment instrument or scoring logic. ORI™ is not certification, accreditation, or regulatory approval.
