How are healthcare provider systems preparing for health emergency situations?

Abstract

Natural disasters, disease outbreaks, famine, and human conflict have strained communities everywhere over the course of human existence. However, modern changes in climate, human mobility, and other factors have increased the global community's vulnerability to widespread emergencies. We are in the midst of a disruptive health event, with the COVID‐19 pandemic testing our health provider systems globally. This study presents a qualitative analysis of published literature, obtained systematically, to examine approaches health providers are taking to prepare for and respond to mass casualty incidents around the globe. The research reveals emerging trends in the weaknesses of systems' disaster responses while highlighting proposed solutions, so that others may better prepare for future disasters. Additionally, the research examines gaps in the literature, to foster more targeted and actionable contributions to the literature.

A Comprehensive Assessment of Human Factors in Cyber Security Compliance toward Enhancing the Security Practice of Healthcare Staff in Paperless Hospitals

“…In this study, we hypothesize that Furthermore, the healthcare environment is associated with work emergencies, such as accident cases and other life-threatening health conditions [11,30,31]. These cases mostly require urgent and timely interventions from the healthcare professionals without which the patient's condition could worsen.…”

Customer lifetime value: the effect of relational benefits, brand experiences, quality, satisfaction, trust and commitment in the fast-food restaurants

“…The results are also generalisable for exploring the effect of CLV and its components, such as the commitment, trust and satisfaction of customers with similar cultural backgrounds. In addition, this research answers the call for quantitative studies about effective management systems for service providers (DeVita et al, 2022;Amiresmaeili et al, 2022).…”

“…Many recent studies (DeVita et al ., 2022; Mousavi et al ., 2022; Khalili-Damghani et al ., 2022) have focused on the implications of key performance indicators of HSE during the pandemic within the hospital management system and have introduced an effective resource allocation model using equitable allocation of shared cost and common revenue approaches. This contemporary research assists in the strategic decision-making process for companies during this unexpected crisis.…”

Implementing Innovative Approaches to Improve Health Care Delivery Systems for Integrating Communicable and Non-Communicable Diseases Using Tuberculosis and Diabetes as a Model in Tanzania

“…Implementation of the ADEPT intervention intended to integrate communicable and non-communicable diseases, yet it was partially interrupted by the emergence of COVID-19. However, as the pandemic exposed longstanding cracks in public health infrastructure [37], the ADEPT model became all the more relevant in providing an example of nimble and efficient service integration [38]. Indeed, conservative modelling has demonstrated that COVID-19 related disruption of health services will result in an excess of death from HIV of up 10%, from TB of up to 20%, and malaria of up to 36% over the next 5 years in high-burden settings [39].…”
