Tracking progress toward the goal of preparedness for public health emergencies requires a foundation in evidence derived both from scientific inquiry and from preparedness officials and professionals. Proposed in this article is a conceptual model for this task from the perspective of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-funded Preparedness and Emergency Response Research Centers. The necessary data capture the areas of responsibility of not only preparedness professionals but also legislative and executive branch officials. It meets the criteria of geographic specificity, availability in standardized and reliable measures, parameterization as quantitative values or qualitative distinction, and content validity. The technical challenges inherent in preparedness tracking are best resolved through consultation with the jurisdictions and communities whose preparedness is at issue.
跟踪实现公共卫生突发事件准备目标的进展情况需要以科学研究以及准备官员和专业人员提供的证据为基础。本文从疾病预防控制中心资助的准备和应急响应研究中心的角度提出了一个用于此项任务的概念模型。必要的数据不仅涵盖了准备专业人员的责任领域，还涵盖了立法和行政部门官员的责任领域。它符合地理特异性、标准化和可靠措施的可用性、参数化为定量值或定性区别以及内容有效性的标准。通过与准备工作存在问题的司法管辖区和社区协商，可以最好地解决准备情况跟踪中固有的技术挑战。
