The Hospital Incident Command System (HICS) is an incident management system specific to hospitals based on the principles of Incident Command System (ICS), and it includes prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery. It plays a crucial role in effective and timely response during the periods of disasters, mass casualties, and public health emergencies. In recent times, hospitals have used a customized HICS structure to coordinate effective responses to public health problems such as the Ebola outbreak in the US and SARS epidemic in Taiwan. The current COVID-19 pandemic has placed unprecedented challenges on the healthcare system, necessitating the creation of HICS that can help in the proper allocation of resources and ineffective utilization of healthcare personnel. The key elements in managing a response to this pandemic include screening and early diagnosis, quarantining affected individuals, monitoring disease progression, delivering appropriate treatment, and ensuring an adequate supply of personal protective equipment (PPE) to healthcare staff.
医院突发事件指挥系统（HICS）是一种基于突发事件指挥系统（ICS）原则的特定于医院的事件管理系统，包括预防、保护、减轻、应对和恢复。它在灾害、大量伤亡和公共卫生紧急情况下的有效和及时应对中起着至关重要的作用。近年来，医院采用定制的 HICS 结构来协调对公共卫生问题的有效应对，例如美国的埃博拉疫情和台湾的 SARS 疫情。当前的 COVID-19 大流行给医疗保健系统带来了前所未有的挑战，需要创建 HICS 来帮助合理分配资源和有效利用医疗人员。应对这种大流行的关键要素包括筛查和早期诊断、隔离受影响的个体、监测疾病进展、提供适当的治疗以及确保向医护人员提供足够的个人防护设备（PPE）。
