Canada is moving forward quickly with plans to ensure that it is prepared to deal with emergencies. The National Framework for Health Emergency Management, released Nov. 26, 2004, recommends that a National Health Incident Management System (IMS) be developed. However, although most communities have successfully implemented IMS in the emergency services sector, many are still struggling with the integration of IMS into their health care systems. It is essential that all health care workers, regardless of profession or position, understand at least the basic concepts of emergency preparedness because of the wide variety of roles they may be asked to fulfill in an emergency situation. This article will review the basic concepts in emergency preparedness and management with a specific focus on IMS in health care.
加拿大正在迅速推进计划，以确保其有能力应对紧急情况。2004 年 11 月 26 日发布的《国家卫生应急管理框架》建议开发国家卫生事件管理系统（IMS）。然而，尽管大多数社区在紧急服务部门成功实施了 IMS，但许多社区仍在努力将 IMS 融入其医疗保健系统。至关重要的是，所有医疗保健工作者，无论其专业或职位如何，都至少要了解应急准备的基本概念，因为他们在紧急情况下可能被要求承担各种角色。本文将重点介绍医疗保健中的 IMS，以回顾应急准备和管理的基本概念。
