Tabletop Exercise

The major focus of a tabletop exercise is to:
  • Review the processes and procedures used in a real emergency event, and
  • Detect issues that could interfere with conducting a realistic simulation
This exercise involves:
  • Decision making individuals representing each group that could be involved
  • An observer who documents decisions and assesses group interactions
  • A topic related scenario with set events happening in a timed sequence
No patients are involved in this type of exercise.
