  • Yan-shang Wang, Hua-jun Sun, Jia-chen Zou, Jie Ning, Yue Du
  • Journal:
    Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness / Volume 15 / Issue 4 / August 2021
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    17 April 2020, pp. 403-408
  • Objectives:

    We aimed to explore and create an evaluation model to assess hospital response capability for a public health emergency (PHE).

    Methods:

    Grounded theory was used to construct a comprehensive evaluation index system. Combining with the index system and previous studies and policy documents, we investigated surge capability of hospitals in a PHE. The factor analysis method was used to establish the model.

    Results:

    The comprehensive evaluation system with 11 primary and 30 secondary indicators was constructed. A total of 89 secondary and tertiary hospitals were surveyed in China. The evaluation model (C = 0.587C1 + 0.151C2 + 0.140C3 + 0.122C4) was established. Four factors were identified, namely, preparation factor, treatment factor, emergency awareness factor, and prehospital first-aid factor.

    Conclusions:

    A public health emergency could bring huge losses and a capable hospital response was necessary. There was an urgent need to evaluate hospital capability for a PHE.
