Abstract Clade X is only the latest in a series of high profile health emergency preparedness exercises intended to better equip government officials and responders at different levels of government and in different sectors for the challenges they are likely to face during a pandemic or bioterrorism event. A key issue in regard to emergency preparedness response is information sharing. This study examines previous literature on the importance of information sharing to emergency response, particularly in regard to public health emergencies. A content and correspondence analysis of data collected from exercise after-action reports is then conducted to examine the prominence of information sharing as a theme in those reports. The relationship between information sharing and other themes is also considered. Specific passages regarding information sharing are examined to consider how the theme is discussed in the context of the report. The findings of the analyses above are then compared to a recent tabletop exercise conducted by the Nuclear Threat Initiative regarding a biological attack. The comparison of this recent exercise to previous exercises is used to highlight key policy considerations. Recommendations are provided regarding how policy makers could help to address these considerations prior to a real world emergency. While technology is consistently evolving to improve the means by which we can share information, issues of coordination, including between the public health and health care sectors, continue to remain an obstacle.

协调,沟通和X进化枝:从卫生应急演习行动后报告中汲取的挑战和教训,以及它们如何帮助指导未来的工作,以改善信息共享

摘要Clade X只是一系列备受瞩目的卫生应急准备演习中的最新一次,旨在使政府各级官员和响应者更好地装备他们,以应对他们在大流行或生物恐怖主义事件中可能面临的挑战。关于应急准备响应的关键问题是信息共享。这项研究研究了有关信息共享对应急响应,特别是在公共卫生紧急情况方面的重要性的先前文献。然后对运动后报告中收集的数据进行内容和对应性分析,以检查信息共享在这些报告中作为主题的重要性。还考虑了信息共享和其他主题之间的关系。研究了有关信息共享的特定段落,以考虑如何在报告的上下文中讨论主题。然后将以上分析的结果与“核威胁倡议”(Nuclear Threat Initiative)最近针对生物攻击进行的一项桌面演习进行比较。将此最近的练习与以前的练习进行比较,可以突出显示主要的政策考虑因素。提供了有关决策者在现实世界紧急情况之前如何帮助解决这些考虑的建议。尽管技术不断发展以改善我们共享信息的方式,但包括公共卫生和卫生保健部门之间在内的协调问题仍然是一个障碍。然后将以上分析的结果与“核威胁倡议”(Nuclear Threat Initiative)最近针对生物攻击进行的一项桌面演习进行比较。将此最近的练习与以前的练习进行比较,可以突出显示主要的政策考虑因素。提供了有关决策者在现实世界紧急情况之前如何帮助解决这些考虑的建议。尽管技术不断发展以改善我们共享信息的方式,但包括公共卫生和卫生保健部门之间在内的协调问题仍然是一个障碍。然后将以上分析的结果与“核威胁倡议”(Nuclear Threat Initiative)最近针对生物攻击进行的一项桌面演习进行比较。将此最近的练习与以前的练习进行比较,可以突出显示主要的政策考虑因素。提供了有关决策者在现实世界紧急情况之前如何帮助解决这些考虑的建议。尽管技术不断发展以改善我们共享信息的方式,但包括公共卫生和卫生保健部门之间在内的协调问题仍然是一个障碍。提供了有关决策者在现实世界紧急情况之前如何帮助解决这些考虑的建议。尽管技术不断发展以改善我们共享信息的方式,但包括公共卫生和卫生保健部门之间在内的协调问题仍然是一个障碍。提供了有关政策制定者如何在现实世界紧急情况之前帮助解决这些问题的建议。尽管技术不断发展以改善我们共享信息的方式,但包括公共卫生和卫生保健部门之间在内的协调问题仍然是一个障碍。
