Abstract:

Objective To analyze the application of simulated epidemic situation tabletop drill on health emergency in 2012 in Wuhu city, and find out the weak links and gaps on health emergency disposal in the counties of Wuhu city, and explore the patterns and methods of emergency drill. Methods The disposal process of an outbreak epidemic situation was simulated, and multiple links were designed to evaluate simulated tabletop drill. The technique operation was also included in the assessment. All the results were judged by experts. Results The drill included tabletop deduction and technique operation, the average score of all the 8 teams was 80.34.The average scoring rate of tabletop deduction and technique operating was 78.13 percent and 91.12 percent, respectively. The highest average scoring rate in the process of tabletop deduction was“case- control study”. There was statistically difference in other links except“sample collection and testing”compared to“case-control study”. There were some differences among the different links and teams. The highest CV of average scoring rate was between 9.68 and 19.92. Conclusion The problem appeared in the drill, such as the weak links and the gaps among the teams, revealed that the targeted train on emergency technique should be enhanced. The tabletop drill and actual combat drill could be used to assess the capability of health emergency if the scheme and content were designed reasonably.
