DIMS For Your Hospital
Save Resources, Time, Money—and Even Lives!

DisastersNet’s Disaster Incident Management System (DIMS) is a fully automated, web-based emergency management system that allows hospitals or industries to conduct training exercises and manage real-time emergencies using Version IV Hospital Incident Command System (HICS) or a customized Incident Command System designed to meet the needs of your specific industry.

A Customized Structure to Meet Your Needs
DIMS allows hospitals to design Incident Command Team Charts and Job Action Sheets and to use the Electronic HICS v4 forms or your own proprietary forms for any identified hazard vulnerability—providing the flexibility to meet the specific needs of a hospital’s organizational structure, regardless of size or available resources.

Efficient, Effective Incident Command Management
With DIMS engaged, the Incident Commander activates the appropriate incident scenario and deploys the Incident Command Team Members to manage the disaster—from a desktop computer or portable device.

The IC Team is immediately notified of their assigned roles, and provided with information to log into the Position Control Panel.

Once active, the IC Team has access to all the management controls needed to effectively and efficiently perform
their mission, including:

  • Activating and deactivating personnel
  • Interactive Job Action Sheet to stay on task and track assignments
  • Automated HICS forms, quickly completed and saved in archive
  • Real-time IC Team Chart to monitor, manage and communicate to Team Members
  • Ability to send and receive messages, as well as to conduct meetings in a live chat room
  • Log of all activities performed throughout the incident by every position
  • Access to all emergency management plans and relevant documents
