Although evacuations of hospitals are considered rare events, they might be more frequent than often thought. Recent research revealed 158 evacuations of hospitals in the USA within 17 years (mean 9.3/year). Leading causes for evacuations might be natural disasters, technical issues or man-made threats like bomb or active shooter events. Evacuations of hospitals are resource-intensive and might be time-critical. Logistical and coordination challenges for efficient deployment of rescue personnel and material must be met. Management of these situations requires efficient leadership and coordination between hospital employees and rescue organizations such as fire departments or emergency medical services. Therefore, a robust concept for evacuation of hospitals is needed. Our publication describes hospital evacuations and appropriate concepts in Germany.
尽管医院疏散被认为是罕见事件，但实际发生频率可能比通常认为的更高。最近的研究显示，美国在17年内有158次医院疏散事件（平均每年9.3次）。疏散的主要原因可能是自然灾害、技术问题或炸弹、活跃枪手事件等人为威胁。医院疏散资源密集且可能时间紧迫。必须应对高效部署救援人员和物资的后勤及协调挑战。应对这些情况需要医院员工与消防部门或紧急医疗服务等救援组织之间进行高效的领导与协调。因此，需要一个强有力的医院疏散概念。我们的出版物描述了德国的医院疏散情况及相应概念。
