Formal and informal hospital emergency management practices: managing for safety and performance amid crisis.
This study looked at how hospitals prepared for unexpected crises using formal and informal emergency practices using the COVID-19 pandemic as a case study. Hospitals used formal and informal practices around planning, teaming, and exchanging resources and information. Relying solely on these practices proved inadequate, especially when prespecified plans, the incident command structure, and existing contracts and communication platforms failed to support resilient response. They identified emergent capabilities - imaginative planning, recombinant teaming, and transformational exchange - through which hospitals achieved harmonious interplay between the formal and informal practices of emergency management that supported safe care and resilience amid crises.

Hospital ward adaptation during the COVID-19 pandemic: a national survey of academic medical centers.
The authors sought to characterize inpatient adaptations to care for non-ICU COVID-19 patients. They found that the COVID-19 pandemic has required medical wards to rapidly adapt with expanding use of respiratory isolation units and use of technology emerging as critical approaches. Reports of unrecognized or delayed diagnoses highlight how such adaptations may produce potential adverse effects on care.

Finding the value in personal protective equipment for hospitalized patients during a pandemic and beyond.
Innovative protocols have been conceptualized and used to conserve PPE in hospitals. Conservation protocols often fail to identify missed opportunities to improve the value of personal protective equipment (PPE) that already exist in hospital care. By defining the value of inpatient PPE, hospitals can identify opportunities for value improvement. Changes implemented now will maximize PPE value and preserve supply during this pandemic and beyond. In this article, the authors discuss the value in PPE for hospitalized patients during a pandemic and beyond.

US hospital type and proximity to mass shooting events.
This study used data on mass shootings to examine the proximity of adult trauma centers, pediatric trauma centers (TCs), and non鈥搕rauma center hospitals to such events. The investigators concluded that based on the data, to ensure the success of trauma care everywhere, all hospitals regardless of TC status should expect and prepare for the eventuality of a mass-casualty event involving both adults and children. All hospitals must be ready to serve as the combat forward-field hospital.

Evacuation performance evaluation tool.
The authors described the development and implications of a disaster evacuation performance tool that measures one portion of the very complex process of evacuation. The tool was pilot tested with an administrative, medical, and nursing leadership group and then implemented with a group of healthcare workers during a disaster exercise. The authors found that the Delphi process based on the conceptual framework of DeVellis yielded a psychometrically sound evacuation performance evaluation tool for a neonatal intensive care unit.

Trauma surge index: advancing the measurement of trauma surges and their influence on mortality.
The authors developed a new measure of hospital capacity strain corresponding to trauma admissions and examined the relationship between trauma surges and inpatient mortality. Their Trauma Surge Index (TSI) method can be implemented by hospitals and trauma systems to examine periods of high-capacity strain retrospectively, identify specific resources that might have been needed, and better direct future investments in an evidence-based manner.

Evacuate or shelter-in-place? The role of corporate memory and political environment in hospital-evacuation decision making.
This study was conducted to identify factors that most heavily influenced the decisions to evacuate the Manhattan Veterans Administration Medical Center before Hurricane Irene in 2011 and Hurricane Sandy in 2012. The researchers conducted semi-structured interviews with 11 senior leaders on the processes and factors that influenced their evacuation decisions.

Impact of the fall 2009 influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 pandemic on US hospitals.
The authors investigated the impact of the 2009 influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 pandemic on US hospitals. They found that the fall 2009 pandemic period substantially impacted US hospitals, mostly through increased emergency department visits. Furhter, for a small proportion of hospitals that experienced a high surge in inpatient admissions, increased mortality from selected clinical conditions was associated with both prepandemic outcomes and surge, highlighting the linkage between daily hospital operations and disaster preparedness.
