“…Regarding communication, digital technology has been integrated into daily life from various industries, including healthcare, to daily activities [59,60], and social media platforms, nowadays, are many people's primary news sources. Thus, communicating clear information to the public and controlling crowdsourced information is a requirement in emergency management, and the matters were concerned during the simulation [61,62].…”

Background Hospitals play a crucial role in responding to disasters and public health emergencies. However, they are also vulnerable to threats such as fire or flooding and can fail to respond or evacuate adequately due to unpreparedness and lack of evacuation measures. The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction has emphasised the importance of partnerships and capacity building in disaster response. One effective way to improve and develop disaster response is through exercises that focus on collaboration and leadership. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of using the 3-level collaboration (3LC) exercise in developing collaboration and leadership in districts in Thailand, using the concept of flexible surge capacity (FSC) and its collaborative tool during a hospital evacuation simulation. Methods A mixed-method cross-sectional study was conducted with 40 participants recruited from disaster-response organisations and communities. The data from several scenario-based simulations were collected according to the collaborative elements (Command and control, Safety, Communication, Assessment, Triage, Treatment, Transport), in the disaster response education, “Major Incident Medical Management and Support” using self-evaluation survey pre- and post-exercises, and direct observation. Results The 3LC exercise effectively facilitated participants to gain a mutual understanding of collaboration, leadership, and individual and organisational flexibility. The exercise also identified gaps in communication and the utilisation of available resources. Additionally, the importance of early community engagement was highlighted to build up a flexible surge capacity during hospital evacuation preparedness. Conclusions the 3LC exercise is valuable for improving leadership skills and multiagency collaboration by incorporating the collaborative factors of Flexible Surge Capacity concept in hospital evacuation preparedness.

Digital competency studies in rural areas have developed rapidly over the past few years, especially since the COVID-19 Pandemic. However, systematic literature reviews in exploring the development of knowledge bases about digital competence in rural areas are still limited. This research aims to overview digital competency studies in rural areas by applying Scopus data-based bibliometric analysis and visual analysis with VOSviewer. The results showed that this Study first appeared in 2011 and reached its peak in 2021. The domain of knowledge is the subject area of social science and the research topics are "elearning"; "covid-19"; "online learning"; "higher education"; "rural education"; and "rural residents". This research found the development of the knowledge base of digital competency studies in rural areas both conceptually and empirically. This research contributes to developing future conceptual studies (the development concepts and models of digital competence) and empirical focus studies (digital innovation, technology adoption; digital learning; and others), and locus studies in Developing Countries; High Income, Lower Middle Income, and Low-Income Countries in various regions

Assessment of digital competence for citizens could support the Education Action plan at a national level, a regional level, or even at a global level to enhance the digital skills and competence gap for work and life for digital transformation. This study applies the DigComp framework through a self-administered online survey to 723 citizens in Vietnam, using a sequential exploratory mixed methods research design. Data were analysed using factor analysis, standard descriptive statistics, and simple regression methods, followed by qualitative content analysis from interviews with ten respondents and a focus group discussion with eight stakeholders on digital competence. The results confirmed the validity of the DigComp framework for measuring the digital competence of Vietnamese citizens. Overall, the proficiency level of the 723 surveyed Vietnamese citizens falls between basic and intermediate levels, being more advanced in areas in information and data literacy and communication and collaboration, compared to digital content creation, safety, and problem solving. The results further showed that male citizens with a higher education level, working in the public sector, or living in province with high provincial digital transformation index rankings perceived themselves to be more digital competent than females with a lower educational level, working in the private sector, or living in the province with low provincial digital transformation index rankings. To improve citizens’ digital competence, training should be designed that considers not only citizens’ digital competence profiles but also their individual characteristics.
