Background Keeping the health workforce and the public informed about the latest evolving health information during a health emergency is critical to preventing, detecting and responding to infectious disease outbreaks or other health emergencies. Having a well-informed, ready, willing, and skilled workforce and an informed public can help save lives, reduce diseases and suffering, and minimize socio-economic loss in affected communities and countries. Providing “just in time” support and opportunities for learning in health emergencies is much needed for capacity building. In this paper, ‘learning intervention’ refers to the provision of ad-hoc, focused, or personalized training sessions with the goal of preparing the health workers for emergencies or filling specific knowledge or skill gaps. We refer to ‘training methods’ as instructional design strategies used to teach someone the necessary knowledge and skills to perform a task. Methods We conducted a scoping review to map and better understand what learning interventions and training methods have been used in different types of health emergencies and by whom. Studies were identified using six databases (Pubmed/Medline, Embase, Hinari, WorldCat, CABI and Web of Science) and by consulting with experts. Characteristics of studies were mapped and displayed and major topic areas were identified. Results Of the 319 records that were included, contexts most frequently covered were COVID-19, disasters in general, Ebola and wars. Four prominent topic areas were identified: 1) Knowledge acquisition, 2) Emergency plans, 3) Impact of the learning intervention, and 4) Training methods. Much of the evidence was based on observational methods with few trials, which likely reflects the unique context of each health emergency. Evolution of methods was apparent, particularly in virtual learning. Learning during health emergencies appeared to improve knowledge, general management of the situation, quality of life of both trainers and affected population, satisfaction and clinical outcomes. Conclusion This is the first scoping review to map the evidence, which serves as a first step in developing urgently needed global guidance to further improve the quality and reach of learning interventions and training methods in this context.

“…Cluster #5 (methods) mainly includes keywords such as emergency department, care, children, infectious disease, and mortality. Cluster #4 and cluster #5 can be grouped, and the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the global need for public health departments and emergency departments to develop strategies to address complex public health challenges, which require enhanced public health education ( 59 , 60 ). In addition, public health policies and health care education are essential strategies to respond to public health crises ( 59 ).…”

BackgroundThe frequent occurrence of major public health emergencies globally poses a threat to people's life, health, and safety, and the convergence development of digital technology is very effective and necessary to cope with the outbreak and transmission control of public epidemics such as COVID-19, which is essential to improve the emergency management capability of global public health emergencies.MethodsThe published literatures in the Web of Science Core Collection database from 2003 to 2022 were utilized to analyze the contribution and collaboration of the authors, institutions, and countries, keyword co-occurrence analysis, and research frontier identification using the CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and COOC software.ResultsThe results are shown as follows: (1) Relevant research can be divided into growth and development period and rapid development period, and the total publications show exponential growth, among which the USA, China, and the United Kingdom are the most occupied countries, but the global authorship cooperation is not close; (2) clustering analysis of high-frequency keyword, all kinds of digital technologies are utilized, ranging from artificial intelligence (AI)-driven machine learning (ML) or deep learning (DL), and focused application big data analytics and blockchain technology enabled the internet of things (IoT) to identify, and diagnose major unexpected public diseases are hot spots for future research; (3) Research frontier identification indicates that data analysis in social media is a frontier issue that must continue to be focused on to advance digital and smart governance of public health events.ConclusionThis bibliometric study provides unique insights into the role of digital technologies in the emergency management of public health. It provides research guidance for smart emergency management of global public health emergencies.

“…Strengthening organizational collaboration is beneficial to breaking down departmental barriers in emergency information release and integrating information and data scattered in various fields. Furthermore, because of the uncertainty of public health emergencies and the variations of the virus ( 13 ), the organization mode and strategy selection of emergency information release show a dynamic process of continuous change and constant adjustment ( 14 ). Therefore, by paying attention to the time dynamic characteristics of public health emergencies, it is critical to clarify the collaborative relationship among organizations.…”

Emergency information release during public health emergencies is a governance measure to slow down the spread of the epidemic and guide the public in scientific protection. Because of the uncertainty and life-cycle characteristics of public health emergencies, emergency information release represents the process of time dynamics. At present, it is an inevitable trend to establish a collaborative mechanism for emergency information release of public health emergencies to improve the release efficiency and respond to public demand. To determine time evolution characteristics of organizational collaboration in emergency information release, this study took the response to COVID-19 from the central government of China as an example and conducted research based on social network analysis. Based on information from COVID-19-related press conferences held by China's central government, the emergency information release collaborative networks (EIRCNs), and Emergency Organizations-Emergency Information Release Matters (EOs-EIRMs) 2-mode network were constructed. With the time evolution, the tightness, convergence, stability, and connectivity of EIRCNs in public health emergencies presented the process of lowering and then raising. At different stages, the core emergency organization (EO) nodes in EIRCNs continued to maintain a certain degree of activity. Their dynamic processes showed the characteristics of diversification rather than homogeneity. The time evolution of emergency information release matters (EIRMs) reflected the dynamic adjustment of the government's prevention and control measures and responded to the diversification of the public's understanding and protection needs during different stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study further examined the driving factors and implementation mechanism of the time evolution characteristics of the collaborative mode of emergency information release. The implementation of EIRMs at different stages had different resource requirements, which were usually achieved by introducing new EOs (Adding resource increment) or increasing the collaborative frequencies among EOs (Activating resource stock). In addition, further research prospects and feasibility interpretation were proposed.
