CALHN Network Incident Command Centre (NICC)
CALHN Network Incident Command Centre (NICC) was stood up on Monday, 23 March 2020.
The NICC will run seven-days-a-week with two incident management teams. The role of the Incident Management Team (IMT) is to use a command and control approach to enable rapid assessment and decision making during an incident. This means that our everyday business operations are now being centrally monitored and managed to ensure that we are able to deploy resources to meet patient needs and to reshape our means of doing business as this incident unfolds.
If you have any issues, be they clinical, logistics or specific COVID-19 concerns you can escalate these through the clinical leads in your program who will inform the IMT via the Clinical Advisory Group or the Business Operations & Logistics Groups.
This page provides information for CALHN staff, and is being updated with input from the IMT on a daily basis.
