Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The emergency action plan (EAP) is required by The Joint Commission and should be practiced at least twice a year. This plan outlines the steps to be taken in case of an emergency or disaster, including roles and responsibilities of staff, communication protocols, evacuation plans, and procedures for reporting and responding to emergencies. The other options listed (NIMS, POD, START) are also important emergency management tools, but are not specifically required by The Joint Commission.
