Abstract
To summarize the present status of health emergency management assessment in China, a comprehensive search of Chinese databases for research that explicitly mention health emergency assessment indicators and indicator systems was performed. Studies were evaluated using the Ekman quality assessment tool, and data were extracted with an original extraction form. Sixty-one studies were included. There are many types and methods of health emergency management assessment in China, and the dimensions and the indicators involved are complex. Legal, regulatory, and policy bases for such assessment need to be further strengthened. The relevance of the entire assessment process and its practical application should be enhanced. In the occupational practice, appropriate evaluation methods should be selected according to respective evaluation purposes, evaluation objects, and contents. Laws, regulations, and policies in the evaluation of health emergency management should be improved. Finally, further correlational research on health emergency management evaluation system processes should be explored and improved.
Highlights
In 2003, a sudden outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) occurred in China.More public health emergencies such as the H1N1 flu epidemic in 2009 and the H7N9 avian flu epidemic in 2013 had serious impacts on China’s politics, economy, trade, and people’s health, among others.Theory and implementation of health emergency systems have evolved worldwide
This review found that the construction of a health emergency management evaluation system is more of a qualitative approach and is appropriately categorized as exploratory research
This study found that research on constructing health emergency assessment systems, analyzing and evaluating present systems based on existing standards, and evaluating practical applications based on the construction of management evaluation systems is scarce
Summary
Theory and implementation of health emergency systems have evolved worldwide. China has gradually implemented the construction of a comprehensive emergency management system including the use of theoretical models, assessment systems, and response studies. China’s health emergency management system is an important component of the comprehensive emergency management system, and health emergency management assessment is an important part of the health emergency management system. China’s health emergency management assessment system has experienced many rigorous tests in response to a series of public health emergencies and has accumulated experience in detecting health emergencies and managing the weaknesses of the evaluation system. There are many types of health emergency management assessments and many methods for health emergency management assessment in China, and the dimensions and the indicators of health emergency management assessment are complex. The evaluation system named the “Disease control agency health emergency capacity evaluation index” has three dimensions, the system known as the “Evaluation
