“…1, [13][14][15] Since September 11 and the anthrax letter attacks, and with federal grant support, state and local public health departments have assumed primary responsibility for preparing their jurisdictions to respond to disasters with significant health effects. 16,17 Historically, federal public health emergency preparedness grant guidance prioritized risk communication, health information dissemination, and incorporation of public input into preparedness and response plans.…”

“…19,41 Community engagement has surfaced in most frameworks, as have surveillance and epidemiologic investigation, medical countermeasure dispensing, and mass patient care. 15,40 The needed spotlight on capabilities, 41 however, has cast a long shadow on underlying resource needs. Early on, the point was argued that, lacking evidence to the contrary, structural capacity (eg, personnel, equipment, technology) is an insufficient indicator of the public health system's ability to respond effectively to an emergency.…”

Over the past decade, community engagement has become a central tenet of US federal doctrine on public health emergency preparedness. Little is known, however, about how the vision of a ready, aware, and involved populace has translated into local practice, or which conditions thus far have advanced community involvement in what is typically considered the province of government authorities and emergency professionals. In 2011-12, to help close that knowledge gap, investigators carried out semistructured qualitative interviews with practitioners (N = 25) from 7 local health departments about which conditions have advanced or inhibited community engagement in public health emergency preparedness. Among the organizational factors identified as enabling local health departments' involvement of community residents and groups in emergency preparedness were a supportive agency leadership and culture, sufficient staffing and programmatic funding, interested and willing partners, and external triggers such as federal grants and disaster experiences that spotlighted the importance of community relationships to effective response. Facing budget and staff cuts, local health departments feel increasingly constrained in efforts to build trusted and lasting preparedness ties with community partners. At the same time, some progress in preparedness partnerships may be possible in the context of agency leadership, culture, and climate that affirms the value of collaboration with the community.

“…The strategic planning to maximize capacity development for the Government is also considered. For example, some trainees delve into operational management and/ or preparedness for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) threats and natural disasters, based on "all-hazard preparedness and response approach" at a national level (5). Meanwhile, others receive more clinically-oriented training, including patient management of infectious diseases rarely seen in Japan, and infection prevention and control at the health facility level.…”

In 2015, Japan created a unique governmental program to train experts in health emergencies called Infectious Disease Emergency Specialist (IDES). This is a concept paper to set out the goal and structure of the program, and to describe the achievement and the way forward to further contribute to global health security. The IDES program background, mission, structure, achievement, and future directions were reviewed and discussed by the IDES trainees, graduates, and program coordinators/supervisors. Since 2015, thirteen Japanese medical doctors have graduated from the program while five are currently in training. The IDES core competencies were identified in the context of a wide range of skillsets required for health emergencies. A large national and global network has been created through the training. Coordinated work with surge capacity of experts is of paramount importance to prepare for and respond to public health emergencies. The IDES program can be a good model to many other governments, and contribute to global health security.

“…Under an all‐hazards approach, “any public health response framework” should “be adaptable to a variety of emergency contexts, from naturally‐occurring pandemics to terrorism to weather‐related disasters” (Barnett, Taylor, Hodge, & Links, , p. 124). Within this framework, however, there is a general consensus that certain flexibility must exist, allowing institutions to focus on the type of event most likely to occur in a specific region (Gibson, Theadore, & Jellison, , p. 634).…”

Public health emergency preparedness is an area of growing policy concern with the emergence of new threats. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services issued a proposed rule in 2013 laying out mandates that hospitals and other facilities would have to meet in order to receive federal funding. Hundreds of comments were submitted in response to the rule, which was finalized in 2016. The following study employs content analysis and interpretive policy analysis to investigate the reaction to rule as it was proposed. In doing so, we will consider the different values, beliefs, and feelings regarding the rule that were expressed in public comments submitted in response to it. Along with those aspects, we will also consider the political, economic, and social implications of the proposed rule as expressed in the public comments. These methods will be used to address whether the selected comments represent different coalitions in regard to the CMS rule and if different coalitions represent different themes in their comments. The study will also consider whether the notice-and-comment process, in this instance, is in line with the advocacy coalition framework and whether there were clear winners in the process.Haciendo obligatoria la preparaci on de emergencias de salud p ublica: Un an alisis de la regla CMS La preparaci on para emergencias de salud p ublica es un area de cada vez m as preocupaci on debido al surgimiento de nuevas amenazas. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services public o una propuesta de regla en 2013 que establece obligaciones para los hospitales y otros establecimientos que tendrían que cumplir para poder recibir fondos federales. Cientos de comentarios fueron escritos en respuesta a esta regla, que fue finalizada en 2016. El siguiente estudio emplea an alisis de contenido y an alisis interpretativo de políticas para investigar la reacci on a la regla como fue propuesta. Al hacer esto, consideramos los diferentes valores, creencias y sentimientos, que tienen que ver con la regla, que se expresaron en comentarios p ublicos en respuesta a ella. Junto con estos aspectos, tambi en consideramos las implicaciones políticas, econ omicas y sociales de la regla propuesta como fueron expresadas en los comentarios p ublicos. Estos m etodos ser an usados para determinar si estos comentarios selectos representan diferentes coaliciones que tienen que ver con la regla CMS y si diferentes coaliciones representan diferentes temas en sus comentarios.
