This research study replicated the original research project done in central Texas in 2015 to learn if a correlation as proposed by Doctor George U. Njoku about National Incident Management System (NIMS) compliance with training and exercises was a possible predictor of hospital preparedness in a state in the East North Central Midwest. The same research questions for compliance with NIMS training and exercise requirements and hospital preparedness were used but two of the questions about hospital location were modified to reflect the system used in a state in the East North Central Midwest. In both the original and this research study, the independent variables were hospital type, size, and location and the dependent variables were compliance and preparedness. The literature review revealed gaps in performance metrics, conflicting expectations between federal regulations and accreditation agencies used by hospitals, and instrument tools lacked validity, reliability, and inconsistencies in scoring. The lack of a measurement instrument to evaluate the relationship between NIMS compliance with training and exercises was the key factor for utilizing the same instrument from the original research study. To remain true to the original study, the same research methodology was followed as closely as possible to try to minimize variability in data analysis. Using a quantitative research design, the same survey instrument with the modifications made for a state in the East North Central Midwest was sent to all hospitals to the individuals identified in emergency management positions in the East North Central Midwestern state via the online company SurveyMonkey ®. During the period of this research study, there was a change in the distribution of grant monies from individual hospitals to a regional approach and hospital mergers which resulted in personnel changes. The original approach of this research study was modified with permission of the IRB at Capella University, and 23 surveys were used in this research study. The results of the data analysis reviewed indicated the relationship between compliance with NIMS training and exercises and preparedness in relationship to hospital type, size, and location did not reach statistical significance. Federal grant expectations that hospital receiving grant funding are NIMS compliant, hospital accreditation standards requiring hospitals to have emergency management programs, and the most recent changes to the Medicare and Medicaid rules may correlate with the findings that the null hypotheses were supported and there was no difference in compliance with NIMS training and exercise requirements with hospital size, type, or location. The final research question about the relationship between compliance with NIMS training and exercise requirements and preparedness did suggest there may be a relationship between the variables.
