The International Response to the 2004 Southeast Asia Tsunami was noted to have multiple areas of poor coordination, and in 2005, the "Health Cluster"approach to coordination was formulated. However, the 2010 Haiti response suggests that many of the same problems continue and that there are significant limitations to the cluster meetings. These limitations include the inconsistent attendance, poor dissemination of information, and perceived lack of benefit to providers. This article proposes that healthcare coordination would be greatly improved with logistical support, leading to improved efficiency and outcomes for those affected by disasters.
2004年东南亚海啸的国际应对行动存在多个协调不力的方面，2005年制定了“卫生群组”协调方法。然而，2010年海地地震的应对情况表明，许多同样的问题依然存在，而且群组会议存在重大局限性。这些局限性包括参会人员不一致、信息传播不畅以及提供者认为没有益处。本文提出，后勤支持将极大改善医疗协调，从而提高受灾害影响者的效率并改善其结局。
