Construction of an Evaluation Index System for the Emergency Management Capability of Major Infectious Diseases in Urban Communities

Abstract

Abstract Objective Taking community as the research perspective, scientifically construct the evaluation index system of emergency management capacity of major infectious diseases in urban communities. Methods The research team comprehensively analyzed Introduction to Emergency Management Theory and Practice and the theory of Collaboration, Participation, and Common Interests, policies, and a literature review to form the initial evaluation index system. After that, the final version of the evaluation index system was developed using the modified Delphi and Analytic Hierarchy Process method for the emergency management of the urban community for major infectious diseases. Results Twenty-two experts were invited to participate in three rounds of opinion solicitation, and the positive coefficient of experts was 1, the average authority coefficient was 0.88, and the coordination coefficient of the third round was 0.175 (P < 0.001). This system consisted of 4 first-level, 19 second-level, and 54 third-level indexes. Conclusion The constructed evaluation index system for the emergency management capacity of major infectious diseases in the urban community setting is novel and scientifically effective, which can provide a reference for future assessment of the cooperation of major infectious diseases emergency management in urban communities.
