Evaluation of Public Health Emergency Management in China: A Systematic Review

Wang, Jia; Yuan, Beibei; Li, Zhengmao; Wang, Zhifeng

The qualitative system evaluation of China's health emergency management assessment revealed that, although China has carried out substantial research related to health emergency assessment, in the face of frequent global public health emergencies, the current assessment of health emergency areas still requires continuous improvement. Foreign health emergency management assessment related research is carried out earlier and applied in practice. The research on China's health emergency management assessment has been carried out late, the evaluation system is flawed, the evaluation criteria are not standardized, the evaluation model is unstable, and the assessment of health emergency management processes lacks attention. A first step in improving the situation is to enhance the relevance of the process of health emergency management assessment. For more than ten years, the health emergency management assessment has prioritized the evaluation of staged and key management work. At present, there is still a lack of research across all processes related to the health emergency management evaluation system. Second, the process of the health emergency management evaluation system is weak. Previous research on a health emergency management assessment system typically targeted certain types of public health emergencies and lacked the exploration of health emergency management assessment systems based on the commonality of multiple types of public health emergencies. Third, the application of a health emergency management assessment system is not strong. The content and the objectives of the previous health emergency management assessment systems are relatively scattered, lack organic integration of the assessment process, and create a state of under-applied appraisal.
