Assessment of hospital resilience in response to medical surges during major emerging infectious diseases: A cross-sectional study from China.
Background: This study aimed to systematically assess hospital resilience of China and identify critical contributing elements using a score-based evaluation and network analysis approach.
Methods: A cross-sectional study of 2,084 medical personnel was conducted between April and October 2024. Sociodemographic data were collected via questionnaire, and hospital resilience was assessed using a tool evaluating surge capacity during major infectious disease outbreaks. Network analysis identified core resilience components.
Results: (1) Hospital resilience was moderate. Robustness scored highest (3.90), while recovery scored lowest (3.52). Key weaknesses were identified within the redundancy and resourcefulness dimensions, which had several low-scoring elements. The recovery dimension was the weakest overall, containing 3 specific low-scoring elements. This indicates a particular vulnerability in the hospital's ability to effectively rebound and restore services after a disruptive event. (2) Network analysis identified key elements with high strength centrality, including C61 service quality evaluation (rstrength = 4.207), C33 patient diversion (rstrength = 2.011), and C34 medical information transparency (rstrength = 1.538), among others.
Conclusions: Hospital resilience to major emerging infectious disease-related surges was moderate, with key gaps across resilience dimensions. Central network elements were identified, offering guidance for targeted improvements in preparedness and strengthening overall health care system resilience.
