The Board developed the CHEP credential to meet a need for a practical but "professional certification" for healthcare emergency directors, managers, coordinators, associates, consultants, and others who work with or coordinate real world issues with the health sector. The program relies on information, standards, and best practices from reliable sources including organizations such NFPA, ASTM, DHS, EPA, OSHA, FEMA, and accrediting organizations such as the Joint Commission. Healthcare organizations need professionals that understand how emergency management principles support the healthcare environment of care, the local community, and the nation.
