We report the history of military humanitarian medical operations, define the current science of process and outcome evaluation, and propose a set of generic metrics for monitoring and evaluation in military humanitarian operations.
We comprehensively reviewed the unclassified literature and used our own experiences in military humanitarian activities.
Our literature review shows that efforts to evaluate the relative quality or cost-effectiveness of military humanitarian missions have been largely unsuccessful. In response to this finding, the authors propose a monitoring and evaluation checklist system with generic metrics, which are broadly applicable but also can be customized specifically for the user.
Military humanitarian operations can provide substantial security value to their many different stakeholders. Refinement of our proposed mission-generic metrics list is one method to measure performance and relative quality. Better assessment of outcomes can clarify decisions about the utilization of limited military medical humanitarian funds and personnel.
我们报告军事人道主义医疗行动的历史，界定当前过程和结果评估的科学，并提出一套用于军事人道主义行动监测与评估的通用指标。
我们全面回顾了非保密文献，并运用了自身在军事人道主义活动中的经验。
我们的文献综述表明，评估军事人道主义任务相对质量或成本效益的努力大多未成功。针对这一发现，作者提出了一个带有通用指标的监测与评估清单系统，该系统具有广泛适用性，但也可根据用户具体定制。
军事人道主义行动可为众多不同利益相关方提供重大安全价值。完善我们提议的任务通用指标清单是衡量绩效和相对质量的一种方法。对结果进行更好的评估可明确有关有限军事医疗人道主义资金和人员使用的决策。
