Abstract

High-level isolation units (HLIUs) are facilities strategically outfitted to receive patients with suspected or confirmed high-consequence infectious diseases (HCIDs). Although most HCID outbreaks occur in low- and middle-income countries, global travel and migration and the deployment of healthcare workers to global outbreaks have led to the occurrence of HCIDs in high-income countries that requires the activation of an HLIU. Despite the existence of HLIUs worldwide, there has been little collaboration between units at the international level. This study reviews the results of a descriptive survey of global HLIUs conducted between December 2022 and February 2023. The purpose of the survey was to identify traits and attributes of global HLIU peers to determine commonalities and differences among the units, identify priorities for increased networking, and inform future activities among global partners. Findings from this survey demonstrate the array of similarities and differences among HLIUs across the globe, indicate potential areas of further investigation, and identify areas in which alignment could be improved and global standards could be created.

全球严重传染病的准备和应对:高级隔离单位清单》。
高级别隔离病房(HLIUs)是为接收疑似或确诊高危传染病(HCIDs)患者而战略配备的设施。尽管大多数 HCID 疫情爆发都发生在中低收入国家,但全球旅行和移民以及向全球疫情爆发地派遣医护人员导致高收入国家也出现了需要启动高级别隔离单位的 HCID 疫情。尽管全球范围内都设有高风险医疗单位,但这些单位之间在国际层面上的合作却很少。本研究回顾了 2022 年 12 月至 2023 年 2 月期间对全球 HLIU 的描述性调查结果。调查的目的是确定全球高水平大学同行的特征和属性,以确定各单位之间的共性和差异,确定加强网络联系的优先事项,并为全球合作伙伴之间的未来活动提供信息。本次调查的结果表明了全球高水平大学之间的一系列相似之处和不同之处,指出了进一步调查的潜在领域,并确定了可以改进协调和创建全球标准的领域。

期刊介绍: Health Security is a peer-reviewed journal providing research and essential guidance for the protection of people’s health before and after epidemics or disasters and for ensuring that communities are resilient to major challenges. The Journal explores the issues posed by disease outbreaks and epidemics; natural disasters; biological, chemical, and nuclear accidents or deliberate threats; foodborne outbreaks; and other health emergencies. It offers important insight into how to develop the systems needed to meet these challenges. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Health Security covers research, innovations, methods, challenges, and ethical and legal dilemmas facing scientific, military, and health organizations. The Journal is a key resource for practitioners in these fields, policymakers, scientific experts, and government officials.
