To comprehensively enhance emergency response capabilities for mosquito-borne infectious diseases like Chikungunya and strengthen multi-departmental collaboration, the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Mongolian Medicine conducted a full-scale Chikungunya epidemic prevention and control emergency drill on August 12th, involving the infection control department, nursing department, logistics department, outpatient department, emergency department, surgery department, dermatology department, and laboratory department. Guided by the principles of "practical application, standardization, and collaboration," the drill simulated real-life case management scenarios, tested and optimized the practicality and operability of the hospital's emergency response plan, and established a solid line of defense to protect the health and safety of the public.
The drill simulated a scenario in which a patient with a recent travel history to an area endemic for mosquito-borne diseases presents to the hospital with typical symptoms such as fever, rash, and severe joint pain. The scenario covered key steps including pre-examination and triage, case diagnosis, epidemic reporting, specimen collection, patient transfer, terminal disinfection, and multi-departmental coordinated response.
The drill proceeded smoothly according to the pre-defined script, with all departments responding swiftly and coordinating well, demonstrating strong professionalism and emergency response capabilities. For example, the entire patient process, from pre-examination and triage to isolation and transfer, was shortened, disinfection coverage met expectations, and physicians' epidemiological surveys were rigorous and detailed, making the pre-defined plan a guiding principle for all participants.
After the drill, the hospital infection control department convened a review meeting with participating departments to review and analyze the entire process. Addressing issues identified during the drill, such as the timeliness of information communication, the responsiveness of the information reporting system, and the responsiveness of emergency material deployment, they proposed specific improvement measures and refined the emergency response plan process, achieving closed-loop management of infectious disease prevention and control.
The hospital's deputy director emphasized in his summary that this drill was a comprehensive test of the hospital's ability to prevent and control mosquito-borne infectious diseases such as Chikungunya fever, and achieved the expected goals. He put forward three requirements:
1. Continuously improve emergency response plans: focus on weak links, refine work processes, and ensure more efficient linkage between all links.
2. Strengthen emergency material reserves: ensure that protective equipment, disinfectants, mosquito repellents, etc. are available at any time to enhance emergency support capabilities.
3. Deepen the joint prevention and control mechanism: Strengthen communication and cooperation with the district CDC, community and other departments to ensure information exchange and rapid response, and form a joint prevention and control force.
In the future, the District Traditional Chinese Medicine and Mongolian Medicine Hospital will continue to strengthen the construction of the public health emergency response system, regularly organize various emergency drills, continuously improve its ability to respond to public health emergencies, and effectively protect the physical health and life safety of the people.
