Survey Data Set on the Readiness of Hospitals for Disaster and Emergency in North Sumatra Indonesia

The study was a survey method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document reviews by referring to the form checklist of Hospital Safety Index. Data consisted of disaster potentials, structural safety, non-structural safety, and functional aspects that were then synthesized to determine the disaster preparedness level of five hospitals in North Sumatra Indonesia. The Hospital Safety Index Level for RS A, RS B, and RS E are “B" level, indicating that their ability to function during and after emergencies and disasters is potentially at risk, thus intervention measures are needed in the short term. While RS C and RS D are at level "A", indicating that both hospitals will remain operational during emergencies and disasters. The analysed data will be useful in contributing to health policies and preparedness of hospitals and other health facilities in the face of disasters, as well as for further research on the impact of hospital services during and after disasters. It will also provide insights to stakeholders and those at the managerial level of hospitals formulating appropriate intervention plans to address or mitigate problems during disasters and after disasters to patients, disaster victims, health workers, and facilities.

本研究采用调查研究法。数据通过访谈、观察与文献审阅采集，参考了医院安全指数（Hospital Safety Index）的制式检查表。采集的数据涵盖灾害隐患、结构安全、非结构安全与功能维度，经综合分析后用于评估印度尼西亚北苏门答腊省五家医院的灾害备灾等级。其中RS A、RS B与RS E的医院安全指数等级为"B"级，表明其在应急事件与灾害发生期间及发生后的运转能力存在潜在风险，因此需在短期内采取干预措施。而RS C与RS D等级为"A"级，表明两家医院在应急事件与灾害期间均可保持正常运转。本次分析得到的数据可为卫生政策制定、医院及其他医疗设施的灾害备灾工作提供参考，同时也可为灾害期间及灾后医院服务影响的相关研究提供支撑。此外，本研究还可为利益相关方及医院管理人员提供决策参考，帮助其制定适宜的干预方案，以应对或缓解灾害期间及灾后针对患者、灾难受害者、医护人员与医疗设施出现的各类问题。
