Pandemieplanung

Abstract

Since 2001, the German states and federal institutions have been engaged in systematic pandemic preparedness planning. Preparedness was largely in an advanced stage and most probably contributed to successful control of the influenza H1N1 (2009) pandemic in Germany. Adaptation and improvement are needed most in the fields of vaccine logistics and communication. In the future, the national plan as well as the WHO pandemic plan should distinguish more clearly between pandemic warning phases for preparation of structures, on the one hand, and epidemiologic situations for activation of measures, on the other hand. The proper balance between a uniform national approach and the local adaptation of measures within Germany remains another challenge. Although the course of the influenza pandemic (H1N1) 2009 was moderate, pandemic preparedness planning remains of utmost importance and must be adapted rigorously and early according to the recent experience.

Management der ersten COVID-19-Welle in 45 Kinder- und Jugendarztpraxen im Saarland

“…Eine Pandemie stellt Praxen vor erhebliche Herausforderungen, dieses wurde bereits am Beispiel der H1N1-Pandemie 2009/2010 untersucht [1][2][3] Results In this survey, the percentage of participation was 85 % of owners of the 53 practices as well as 81 % of the assistant personnel. An increased risk of being absent from work existed for 71 % of practice owners and 48 % of assistant personnel, either because they belonged to a group at high risk of being infected or due to other care obligations.…”

“…Der Plan fokussiert ausschließlich auf Influenza und es sind keine Erfahrungen der H1N1-Pandemie eingeflossen. Er bietet den Praxen keine Planungsgrundlage, bereits nach der H1N1-Pandemie wurde auf die Notwendigkeit von fortlaufend aktualisierten Pandemieplanungen hingewiesen [3].…”

“…Ob ein ursächlicher Zusammenhang besteht, ist derzeit noch Gegenstand wissenschaftlicher Überprüfung. [3].…”

Surveillance and Outbreak Response Management System (SORMAS) to support the control of the Ebola virus disease outbreak in West Africa

“…Additionally, we took into account requirements identified in reviews and analyses on contact tracing, outbreak management and electronic surveillance systems for other diseases also, not only EVD [8][9][10][11][12]. The identified requirements to be addressed by an outbreak management system are listed in Table 1.…”
