“…Nicolae Bănicioiu, health minister at the time of the tragedy, continues to be criticized for not having facilitated the timely transfer of patients to other EU countries. It remains unclear whether the European Union Civil Protection Mechanism (EUCPM), which allows requests for assistance from other EU countries in response to disasters, 3 could not or was not activated after the tragedy, as academics report it had not been implemented in medical settings, rendering expeditious external support for Romania's overwhelming number of patients with burns tough to secure. Raed Arafat, the acting secretary of state in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, has argued that handling cases primarily based on ad hoc negotiations and deals between stakeholders was the more efficient approach.…”

Over the past decade, healthcare systems have started to establish control centres to manage patient flow, with a view to removing delays and increasing the quality of care. Such centres—here dubbed Healthcare Capacity Command/Coordination Centres (HCCCs)—are a challenge to design and operate. Broad-ranging surveys of HCCCs have been lacking, and design for their human users is only starting to be addressed. In this review we identified 73 papers describing different kinds of HCCCs, classifying them according to whether they describe virtual or physical control centres, the kinds of situations they handle, and the different levels of Rasmussen’s [1] risk management framework that they integrate. Most of the papers (71%) describe physical HCCCs established as control centres, whereas 29% of the papers describe virtual HCCCs staffed by stakeholders in separate locations. Principal functions of the HCCCs described are categorised as business as usual (BAU) (48%), surge management (15%), emergency response (18%), and mass casualty management (19%). The organisation layers that the HCCCs incorporate are classified according to the risk management framework; HCCCs managing BAU involve lower levels of the framework, whereas HCCCs handling the more emergent functions involve all levels. Major challenges confronting HCCCs include the dissemination of information about healthcare system status, and the management of perspectives and goals from different parts of the healthcare system. HCCCs that take the form of physical control centres are just starting to be analysed using human factors principles that will make staff more effective and productive at managing patient flow.
