The purpose of an After Action Report and Improvement Plan (AAR/IP) is to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of certain events. These reports help breakdown incidents and to check processes that have either worked as planned or processes that need improvement. The reports can also be stored for future use in order for people to use them as past lessons learned. This AAR will give a summary of events, strengths and weaknesses, recommendations, and finally finished off with an IP that addresses the recommendations.
Summary of Events On a cold day in October, at or around the time of 11:30am, witnesses described watching a tanker truck roll over on its side and start to leak a liquid, presumably gasoline. One witness immediately called for emergency assistance. Within 10 minutes, the fire department arrived on scene with the Battalion Chief (BC) in charge of the situation. The BC notified the command center and requested the police department and extra response from the fire department; along with the State Department of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The police department arrived at the time of 11:55am and started establishing a perimeter. As the police were securing the perimeter, the BC noticed that a massive amount of gasoline was still continuously flowing from the truck and it was starting to flow into the storm drains. At 12:10pm a command post was established within the perimeter. A ranking police officer suggested that a unified command be
The third part of the action plan will be to assess the progress of changes. This requires measuring current and future performance against past performance, which will need to be assessed more in depth than the initial tracer patient audit. The last portion of the corrective action plan not only assesses the change, but might also include further revisions to the change in policy and procedures if it is found that performance is inconsistent with the standards set forth by the Joint Commission. The part of the plan has four parts that consist of:
There will be corrective action plan made by the Project Manager. The corrective action plan will be meeting with the team members and raise the issues mentioned by stakeholders. Each member’s performance will be evaluated and also include measurements for achieving the intended outcomes and anticipated timeline for
After he realized the gasoline can was missing, he entered his truck to go to the gas station to buy more gasoline. When he started his truck, he observed the fuel gauge was missing approximately ¼ tank of gasoline. Stokes stated he owned the vehicle, but allowed his neighbor to drive the truck. Stokes contacted his neighbor and asked how much gasoline he put in the fuel tank on 05/30/2016. The neighbor said he filled the fuel tank on the truck to read ¾ of a tank of gas. Stokes confirmed there was ¾ of a tank of gas in the truck on 05/30/2016 when he parked the vehicle in his driveway. He observed the fuel gauge readout at ¾ of a tank. Stokes advised no one drove the vehicle after he parked it on 05/30/2016. There were no hoses or any evidence present at the scene to indicate the method of siphoning. Stokes only assumed the gasoline was siphoned from his truck because the fuel gauge read lower than yesterday. The fuel cap on the truck does not lock and flipped open by
On 01/08/2015, at approximately 0930 hours, your affiant was dispatched to the area of the Valero gas station. The reporting person informed the dispatcher that there is a truck parked in the road blocking traffic and the driver is slumped over the steering wheel.
Introduction. On 06 January 2005, a cargo train carrying a massive amount of chlorine spilled in Graniteville, South Carolina creating panic and indeed chaos to both citizens and emergency managers on how to properly respond to the hazardous materials released from the train wreckage. The people of the small rural town of Graniteville located just outside of Aiken, South Carolina, where caught in their sleep when Freight train 192 traveling approximately 47 mph struck other consignments spilling a dangerous amount of chlorine gas into the atmosphere. As a result of this disaster, 5,400 individuals were evacuated from their homes whiling causing nine death. The magnitude of such disaster was one that would change any town or city forever.
Three members were attending to the apparatus and wading in the foam-water-petroleum mixture which was accumulating on the ground. Commissioner Rizzo and Gulf Refinery manager Jack Burk were on an overhead catwalk nearby observing the fire fighting operation. Without warning the accumulating liquid surrounding Engine 133 ignited, immediately trapping the three firefighters working at Engine 133. Instinctively and without hesitation other nearby firefighters dove into the burning liquid to rescue their comrades, not aware of the danger to themselves. Five more firefighters would be consumed by the advancing fire. The flames just engulfed them," said Commissioner Joseph Rizzo, describing how he escaped the first of dozens of explosions but looked back to see three of his men sealed in flames.
On 7/17/2015, at 1923 hours, I was on duty, in uniform, and driving a marked police vehicle (0913). Off. Johnson and I were dispatched to 1326 E Columbia St on a report that the reporting party was struck by her mother. The reporting party (Angela M Coffey) declined medical attention.
Despite the growing burden of diabetes and the lack of diabetes care providers, barriers and resistance for utilization of Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (ARPRNs) to provide diabetes care continues to exist. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (2017), an estimated 30.3 million people have diabetes, with greater than 90% having Type Two Diabetes. In Saline County, Kansas, 12 % of the population has been diagnosed with diabetes (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, 2016). A previous gap analysis identified the lack of outpatient diabetes education and management services in Saline County, Kansas. Follow-up SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunities and threats) identified barriers and potential solutions that must
After Action reviews, are used to get feedback from a training event or a operation. There are two types of AARs, formal and informal. Both differ in areas of time, resources, planning, location, and who’s conducting it. There are also important people involved in the AAR; such as facilitators, participants, and last observers. Facilitators as I learned today are those people who make the planning and conducting of an AAR a bit easier for those involved. There is also different phases that go with the AAR: Planning, preparing, conducting, and last follow up. These are basic steps that help organize the actual AAR. Total participation is great in AAR it allows more input to the discussion that allows everyone to say their pros and cons. A method
This assignment describes my own Professional Development Plan (PDP) for the first six months of my nurse registration. Following a PDP will show my commitment to Continuing Professional Development (CPD), otherwise known as PREP (CPD). PREP stands for Post-Registration Education and Practice and is a set of Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) standards and guidance that help nurses give the best possible care (NMC PREP Handbook 2006 p3); part of which is a commitment to CPD. CPD is a process of learning activities designed for individuals to reach their full potential, so they provide the highest possible standards of patients care (NMC PREP Handbook 2006 p9). By following a PDP I will develop my knowledge, understanding
Respectively, each Commander sent out word for their local commanders to report, it was time to brief everyone on the plan and it
In this report I will be reviewing assets, opportunities, lesson, homework plans, progress made, and future plans. First off I want to say I have never excelled in English, and I’ve considered it to be one of my weak areas. Saying that statement I’m soaking all the information up like a sponge and hope to learn as much as I can from English 101.
Initially I thought that I had little research experience except for gathering information regarding falls and looking for solutions to prevent them. Then I began thinking about all of the times that I have turned to journal articles when looking for information related to best practices in patient care. I hope to learn to develop a better understanding of the research process and to conduct my own research in courses to come.
On April 05, 2016 at approximately 1518 hours, I was dispatch to 2004 Pine Street in reference to a death investigation. Upon my arrival, I met with Detective Campbell who was the lead Investigator at the scene. Detective Campbell stated that the victim neighbors reported a strong smell coming from the victim’s (Cortiz Lazarz) residence. The neighbors called 911 and Officer Volk was the first responded officer on scene. Defective Campbell and officer Volk stated that the victim located on the living room floor, fazing the south from the residence. Detective Campbell requested I process the scene for evidence and documentation.
After-action-review originates from providing a learning opportunity for military to review the battle and adjust their performance (Darling& Parry, 2001). It is defined as a system designed for reviewing the past event no matter the organization got succeed or not. Following the criteria, all participants for the specific project need to be gathered together to discover both weakness and strengths (Villado & Arthur, 2013).
