To ensure adequate preparation for disasters, every hospital must have a Disaster Planning Guideline for emergency responses. The main objective of this research was to analyze the disaster emergency response system at air force hospital Dr. M. Salamun in terms of input, process, and output aspects. This research is descriptive qualitative. The informants of this study were the management team who contribute directly to hospital policy. Data collection is done through in-depth interview techniques, observation, and document review. Data was analysed with the content validity and triangulation. Ther study determined that the hospital was not yet adequately prepared for the full range of potential disasters. The disaster prevention management plan, operational plans, and plans recovery are largely restricted to dealing with fire hazards, while other natural disasters are not yet fully accounted for. The responsible of implementing the emergency response was handled by Hygiene Safety Environmental (HSE) officer. Based on the observation Air Force Hospital Dr. M. Salamun in general is quite adequate to resolve disaster respond. Periodic evaluation and monitoring are needed both in the planning and implementation stages of disaster management both internally and externally, so as to reduce losses due to potential disasters.   Keywords: Hospital, disasters.

Background: There is a gap in the literature comparing communication during handover between military and NHS emergency care settings. Objectives: This study aimed to explore differences in handover communication in the NHS and the military, and to understand how paramedics manage the transition between settings. Design: This was a qualitative study for which 13 paramedics were interviewed. It focused on handover communication in NHS emergency care settings and Camp Bastion Hospital, Afghanistan. Methods: Interviews were conducted with regular and reservist paramedics serving in the Royal Air Force who had undertaken a deployment with the Medical Emergency Response Team. Semi-structured interviews were recorded, transcribed, coded and subjected to a thematic analysis. Results: Three principal themes were identified: differences between handover communication; standardisation; and the challenge of transition. Conclusion: Participants were most concerned about standardisation. Transition theory and resilience may account for the difficulties encountered when transitioning between different care settings.

Emergency Response Training

Objectives: The authors applied a system dynamics model to the problem of optimizing the balance of emergency response training with routine work tasks using a case study of US Air Force Bioenvironmental Engineering units.Design: A system dynamics model was constructed using available work time inputs for emergency response training and routine task execution. The model generated estimates of task proficiency for emergency and routine tasks.Setting: The study was conducted using a case study of management of US Air Force Bioenvironmental Engineering units.Main outcome measures: The model generated estimates of task proficiency (0-100 percent) for emergency and nonemergency tasks based on time allocation policy inputs.Results: The optimal balance to maintain both emergency and nonemergency task proficiency at or above 70 percent was to have an intensive 2-week period of 35 h/wk devoted to emergency response training, followed by a constant 21 h/wk (52.5 percent of available effort) to emergency response training.Conclusions: The results reinforce the popular notion that an organization with a significant amount of effort devoted to routine tasks that differ from emergency response tasks will not be able to approach 100 percent readiness task proficiency without significant degradation of routine task proficiency. Synergy of routine task selection to enhance readiness proficiency is essential to maintain emergency response capabilities.
