Current research on vulnerability in a general hospital disaster

ObjectiveTo sequencing on the various potential risk to the hospital, identify risk events that the hospital need to focus on, analyze the reason of its formation and impact on the hospital, strengthen risk management, and reduce the hospital disaster vulnerability.

MethodsUsing the questionnaire, the grading standard of evaluation factor was established according to the possibility of occurrence and severity(injury-prevention).The disaster vulnerability was investigated using comprehensive index method, and the risk event was qualified according to the results.

ResultsThe high risk harm of the hospital was the medical dispute(R=129.28), internet public opinion events(R=101.46), elevator accident(R=90.01), network information system disabled(R=89.47) and hospital infection(R=84.81) in turn.

ConclusionsThe medical disputes, internet public opinion events, elevator accident, network information system disabled and hospital infection should be prevented.The hospital can strengthen the construction of mechanism and system, set up early warning system, formulate or improve the corresponding plan, organize training and drills, reserve the corresponding emergency supplies, and reduce the impact of disasters on hospital operation and health care work.
