Previous reports have identified the development of healthcare coalitions as the foundation for disaster response across the United States. This survey of acute care hospitals characterizes the current status of participation by US hospitals in healthcare coalitions for emergency preparedness planning and response. The survey results show the nearly universal nature of a coalition approach to disaster response. The results suggest a need for wide stakeholder involvement but also for flexibility in structure and organization. Based on the survey results, the authors make recommendations to guide the further development of healthcare coalitions and to improve local and national response to disasters.
先前的报告已确定医疗联盟的发展是美国各地灾难应对的基础。这项针对急症医院的调查描述了美国医院参与医疗联盟进行应急准备规划和应对的现状。调查结果显示了联盟方式在灾难应对中的几乎普遍性。结果表明需要广泛的利益相关者参与，但在结构和组织上也需要灵活性。基于调查结果，作者提出了一些建议，以指导医疗联盟的进一步发展，并改善地方和国家对灾难的应对。
