“…The other disadvantage is that this tool considers only the preparedness phase, while a resilient hospital system should cover different phases of disaster management, including mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery (68).The model proposed by Khanmohammadi et al, concentrates on the hospital building and relevant technical services failure after earthquakes at the recovery phase in Iran. It cites the impacts of hospital damages and the resource shortage on the quality of services and uses the relevant variables to quantify the hospitals resilience (45). The model variables were classified into three groups, including the endogenous, exogenous, and excluded variables.…”

Background: Hospitals play a vital role in disaster stricken regions. The resilient hospitals will be able to provide essential services to affected people and it can mitigate the risk of injuries during and after disasters. This study aimed to obtain the indicators required for the evaluation of hospital resilience. Methods: This systematic review was conducted in 2018. Through this systematic review, international electronic databases were investigated for the research studies published in English. The exclusion and inclusion criteria were determined to extract the hospital resilience indicators. These indicators will be used in order to develop a model to keep the system performance at an acceptable level during disasters. Results: Out of 1794 research studies published until September 2018, 89 articles and guidelines with full text were surveyed. Thirty-two articles and guidelines were then selected and analyzed to collect the indicators related to hospital disaster resilience (HDR). The domains and the indicators were extracted from these selected research studies. The authors collected and categorized them into three domains and twenty seven subdomains. The three domains included constructive, infrastructural, and administrative resilience. The relevant indicators were designed for each subdomain to assess HDR. Conclusion : Since diverse indicators affect hospital resilience, other studies should be conducted to propose some models or tools to quantify the hospital resilience in different countries and scopes with an all hazards approach.

“…From these studies, four researches proposed a model, framework or tool that developed the process of assessing HDR. These model, tools and framework were as following: Hospital Safety Index (HSI) (40), dynamic approach to the seismic resilience of hospitals (33), measuring framework of the hospital resilience (22) and the indicators for assessing hospital disaster preparedness in Japan (38). Some of the articles didn't present any tool or models for assessing HDR, but they consisted of relevant indicators or variables to HDR.…”

Background: Hospitals play a vital role in disaster stricken regions. The resilience of hospitals conducts related services without interruption and it can mitigate the risk of the injuries during and after disasters. The aim of this paper was to obtain the indicators required for the evaluation of hospital resilience. Methods: This systematic review was conducted in 2018. Through this systematic review, the international electronic databases were investigated for the researches published in English. The exclusion and inclusion criteria were determined to extract the effective indicators resilience of the structural and non-structural parts in hospitals in order to develop a model to keep the system performance at an acceptable level. Results: Out of 1794 researches that were published until September 2018, 89 articles and guidelines with full text were surveyed. 32 articles and guidelines were then selected and analyzed to collect the indicators related to hospital disaster resilience (HDR). Initially, the domains and the indicators were extracted from these selected researches. Conclusion: As our suggested model, the indicators categorized into three domains including constructive, infrastructural and also administrative resilience. Also, 27 subdomains proposed that the indicators were designed to be the component for each of them. Since diverse indicators affect hospital resilience, therefore, other studies should be conducted to propose some models or tools to quantify the hospital resilience in different countries and scopes with an all hazard approach. Key words: Disaster; Hospital; Resilience; Structural and non-structural systems; Indicators;
