Medical Response Surge Exercise
The Medical Response & Surge Exercise (MRSE) was created by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) as the Hospital Preparedness Program’s annual exercise requirement for health care coalitions (HCCs).
The MRSE is a functional exercise, which HSEEP describes as “an operations-based exercise designed to test and evaluate capabilities and functions while in a realistic, real-time environment.” The MRSE is designed to examine and evaluate the ability of HCCs and other stakeholders to support medical surge, and specifically, how coalitions help patients receive the care they need at the right place, at the right time, and with the right resources during medical surge; decrease deaths, injuries, and illnesses resulting from medical surge; and promote health care delivery system resilience in the aftermath of medical surge.
