摘要

  世界衛生組織(World Health Organization, WHO)就過去經驗得知,醫院具備的中立性、公正性以及保護社會和健康資本的能力,在衝突期間成為公眾的避風港,因此,應確保醫院在災害緊急應變期間持續提供醫療服務,可有效減少不必要的傷亡、穩定災民慌亂的心寧以及維持社會的穩定。我國位處多災害的地區,更深刻體會醫院是對抗災害的重要後援之一,應依循WHO提倡的「Safe Hospitals」安全醫院的觀念,進行醫院的相依性分析、衝擊分析與災例分析,徹底了解並強化醫院的防護弱點,達到「營運不中斷」的理念。本文以災害管理的角度來看安全醫院的內涵與需求,除了一般結構性與非結構性的設施防護之外,人員訓練、資源有效管理、緊急應變計畫與管理階層的指揮等,均是未來檢討推動的重點。
