“…Hsu (2017), emphasizes the special role of communication mechanisms and preventive public awareness methods to prevent the spread of the dengue epidemic. Liu et al (2017), the paper investigated the dynamics of quality and population indicators and the dynamics of epidemic emergencies. According to the authors, the main criteria for increasing the consequences of emergencies are population density and aging.…”

“…Important aspects of using the current capabilities of the latest information are GIS and WebGIS technologies. Liu et al (2017), investigated some of the communication capabilities of web-based technologies (WBS) for dealing with the consequences of mass casualty emergencies, taking into account the changing parameters of urbanization of the affected territory. However, the recommendations given in the previous study are predominantly sectoral, which is inherent to the peculiarities of the occurrence and development of emergencies in Pacific countries.…”

This study aims to investigate the features of the concept and practical functioning of the prevention and elimination mechanism of bio-medical emergencies. The biblio-semantic and analytical methods of the set question research are used. The mechanisms of medical and biological character emergencies management depending on the goals of the tools used, as well as recommendations for optimization of this process, were described. According to the study results, we concluded that the provision of sustainable socio-economic society development should go side by side with the creation of a safe environment, ensuring the implementation of modern biosafety systems, and harmonizing with international legislation. There are all conditions for rapid changes in the epidemic situation in many countries with increasing anthropogenic impact on the environment, the resistance of infectious agents to chemotherapeutic and disinfectants, diversity of natural areas and biocoenosis, creating favorable conditions for the long-term existence of focal infections, identification of new forms, increased migration and international trade of food, as well as the spread of natural disasters and catastrophes. One of the ways to strengthen Ukraine's position may be to work on the creation of a risk management system in emergencies and bring legislation into conformity with international and EU legislation.

Community Resilience: Key Concepts and their Applications to Epidemic Shocks

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed long-standing social inequalities and vulnerabilities, with the most disadvantaged and marginalised groups bearing the greatest health, social, and economic burdens. Beyond documenting these vulnerabilities, there is a need to mitigate them and support the resilience of marginalised communities. ‘Community resilience’ can bolster community capacity to cope with the pressures of various shocks; this brief explores how its concepts can be applied to epidemics. It reviews the grey and academic literature on different approaches to community resilience. It covers 1) terminology, 2) lessons from practice, 3) the context of community resilience, 4) a systems approach, and 5) key human and social capacities. Social justice, inequality, equity, and fairness are highlighted as themes in need of further development for resilience as it relates to epidemic preparedness and response. This brief was developed for SSHAP by IDS (led by Megan Schmidt-Sane with Tabitha Hrynick) with Anthrologica (Eva Niederberger).

“…Double-checking should also be managed through documentation, at least for critical processes, with the reminder that, as always happens in reasoning about 'control', excessive formalisation could hinder efficient functioning (Soin and Collier, 2013). In the case of healthcare, this reflection is considerably more involved and uncertain than in other sectorial areas given the complexity of the dimensions involved (Carroll and McSherry, 2020); however, in the healthcare context, it is essential to make non-compliant operators (who might feel restricted by the procedure) understand that appropriate regulations, if well conceived, are allies and not necessarily enemies in daily clinical/medical practices and to make the regulations strongly engaging in terms of organisational communication (Liu et al, 2017;Yilmaz and Flouris, 2017).…”

Risk management is fundamental in healthcare organisations at both the institutional (organisations) and sectorial (health) levels, not only as an operational technique but also as part of a managerial model. Thus, it is essential to highlight the strategic importance of the cultural impact, both clinically and financially, of correct risk integration between professional and organisational functioning. This research presents a case study of the Casa di Cura Tortorella S.p.a. (Salerno, Italy), which adopted a unique solution to handle logistical risks concerning medicines that have the potential to lead to dangerous confusions due to their similar names, dosages, packaging, and other elements (i.e., look-alike, sound-alike [LASA] drugs). Using the case study technique, the investigation highlights that the adoption of an operational mechanism for risk management, although useful, is limited if it is not supported by thorough training (for every operator) and a new organisational and cultural role, i.e., 'nursing team leaders', with responsibility for coordination and reporting, and has direct and indirect impacts on the financial performance of healthcare organisations.
