Health Systems’ ability to prepare for, and cope with, “surges” (sudden large-scale escalations) in treatment needs: State of the Art and Priorities for Future Research
According to the authors of this study, over the past decade, a number of high-impact natural hazard events, together with the increased recognition of pandemic risks, have intensified interest in health systems’ ability to prepare for, and cope with, “surges” (sudden large-scale escalations) in treatment needs.
In this article, the authors identify key concepts and components associated with this emerging research theme. They consider the requirements for a standardized conceptual framework for future research capable of informing policy to reduce the morbidity and mortality impacts of such incidents.
Their objective is to appraise the consistency and utility of existing conceptualizations of health systems’ surge capacity and their components, with a view to standardizing concepts and measurements to enable future research to generate a cumulative knowledge base for policy and practice.
