Promoting Information Sharing for Multijurisdictional Public Health Emergency Preparedness

Planning for cross-border and multijurisdictional emergencies depends on access to pertinent information and the feasibility of attaining such information. The creation of a comprehensive guide to multijurisdictional collaborations, with its self-assessment checklists, can easily provide such information to emergency. In addition, information sharing and increased collaboration can lead to increased utilization of emergency preparedness best practices.

Visualizing the Knowledge Base and Research Hotspot of Public Health Emergency Management: A Science Mapping Analysis-Based Study

“…Some scholars have put forward specific plans for specific areas and management methods between multiple areas [13,14]. Many researchers believe that enhancing the transparency, accuracy, and ease of communication of information when emergencies occur can help facilitate effective responses to the events [15][16][17]. There has been a certain research foundation on public health emergency management.…”
