Accommodating Accommodations
Exercise
Participant Testimonials
Found below are testimonials from several of the hospitals that participated in a
previous Accommodating Accommodations Exercise.
Valley Medical Center – Renton – Washington
I think the ONX System / Caduceus Shield exercise series may be one of the best
mechanisms to leverage wider participation in small scale drills. Opportunities to
customize some areas or have regionally based events might be useful.
John Randolph Medical Center – Hopewell – Virginia
Everything was developed to make it easy for a facility to review and revise their plan.
Tuality Healthcare – Hillsboro – Oregon
Ok, I don't want to be blunt, but I really haven't worked with you guys. I'm on the west
coast. I've invited my IMT to attend free seminars in the past and some were a real
waste of time and I felt my credibility sink. Unfortunately the time / date of this tabletop
was during a major standing meeting of nursing leadership at our hospital. In looking to
who to invite, I saw most calendars full. So I only invited a couple people. This was a
great tabletop. I wish more people could have attended. Perhaps you need to advertise
your good evaluations from to State Public Health Preparedness representatives etc.,
so that potential attendees won't think it's more of a sales pitch than an educational
tabletop. Thanks so much for making it the latter.
HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Northeastern Virginia – Aldie – Virginia
Great learning opportunity!
Huntington Hospital – Huntington – New York
This was a great exercise and we will participate in it again using different situations.
Cheshire Medical Center / Dartmouth-Hitchcock Keene – Keene – New Hampshire
The exercise was excellent; it provided a great opportunity to communicate about
something that could indeed happen.

St Mary’s Hospital – Grand Junction – Colorado
Several ideas for improvement were discussed during the exercise. The sheltering tools
provided will greatly assist this process. All in all a very well planned and conducted
tabletop exercise.
Jersey Shore University Medical Center – Neptune – New Jersey
Great learning experience!
Boulder Community Hospital – Boulder – Colorado
The fact that our hospital administration has rescheduled this same exercise off-line in
order that we are able to bring to light more of the items that need to be integrated into
the "Staff Sheltering" concept speaks to the fact that it was very successful exercise for
us.
Cheshire Medical Center / Dartmouth-Hitchcock Keene – Keene – New Hampshire
Thank you for providing this opportunity for us to participate. I would like to participate in
other ONX System exercises in the future as they become available.
Aspirus Wausus Hospital – Wausau – Wisconsin
This was new for us to participate and we enjoyed the exercise.
Thank you. We will look into future exercises.
Avita Health System / Bucyrus Community Hospital – Bucyrus – Ohio
First let me say the exercise last week was very well written and presented. Our team,
though small and without any administration present (holiday tea at the same time)
enjoyed the exercise. It provoked some lively conversations and sparked some
interesting ideas.
Lafayette General Medical Center – Lafayette – Louisiana
Thank you so much for the opportunity to participate in this exercise. It was a really
great experience.
Huntington Hospital – Huntington – New York

Manatee Memorial Hospital – Bradenton – Florida
This ONX System format was excellent for a tabletop drill.
Central Baptist Hospital – Lexington – Kentucky
With each inject we were able to identify items that we need to fix with our plan. This
exercise was well planned and well designed. The scenarios were realistic. Thank You
for the opportunity to participate.
Lafayette General Medical Center – Lafayette – Louisiana
Very useful exercise! It helped us see our strengths and more importantly our
weaknesses.
King’s Daughters Medical Center – Brookhaven – Mississippi
This was a good exercise and got us thinking about the things we need to improve
upon.
HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Northeastern Virginia – Aldie – Virginia
Great exercise! We have some work to do to be better prepared. However, we now
have a structure of how to conduct ourselves in the event of a disaster.
