Crisis organisation design that fits clinical reality
A structure that holds when the professionals in it are also needed on the floor.

Healthcare
“Does our crisis organisation keep operating when it matters?”
Care continues during a crisis — which means the crisis organisation must work while the primary process is already at capacity.

Why it goes wrong here
- 01
Crisis roles are held by professionals whose first duty is patient care; when both compete, the crisis structure loses.
- 02
Escalation between department, board and the regional chain is defined but rarely rehearsed end to end.
- 03
Scarcity decisions — beds, staff, transfers — are ethically loaded and almost never practised before they are real.
Where RHEM helps
Rehearsing scarcity decisions
Structured practice of the hardest allocation calls, with the ethical and legal frame made explicit.
Chain exercises with GHOR and partners
End-to-end scenarios from ward to regional coordination, evaluated on decisions.
Support for crisis coordinators
Development for those carrying the crisis role alongside a clinical one.
What it delivers
A crisis organisation that keeps functioning under real clinical load, with rehearsed escalation and defensible scarcity decisions.
