Hospital Disaster and Emergency Plan in Biological Disasters (HDEP): Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) COVID-19 Pandemic System Model Example. Journal of Contemporary Studies in Epidemiology and Public Health. 2022;3(1):ep22003. https://doi.org/10.29333/jconseph/11975 ABSTRACT Introduction and Objectives: Man-made disasters can be grouped as technology and violence origin such disasters occur as a result of conscious or unconscious mistakes where chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats are used. It has become significant for hospitals to prepare a plan, which includes information and practical actions, including all situations that require urgency and actions to be taken in emergencies that may occur in workplaces. Coronaviruses are a diverse group of viruses that infect many different animals and can cause mild to severe respiratory infections in humans. Two highly pathogenic coronaviruses of zoonotic origin, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), emerged in humans in 2002 and 2012, respectively. At the end of 2019, the emergence of a new coronavirus, SARS- CoV-2, in the Chinese city of Wuhan caused an unusual viral pneumonia epidemic. In this study, hospital emergency management plan is examined to the currently effective pandemic element of COVID-19 disease. Methods: It reviews the current situation and recommended actions to improve the preparedness of hospitals in five critical hospital roles during disasters: executing planning and coordination, maintaining disaster capacity, training and disaster drills with the broader health and public safety communities, protection hospital and staff, and surveillance as showing. In this context, coranavirus (SARS-CoV-2) COVID-19 hospital disaster emergency plan system model has been tried to be created. While creating the system method, it proposes a model of how the primary diagnosis and intermediate treatments will be handled in the risk method for the emergency room cases and the clinic, by handling confirmed and suspected cases through both the healthcare personnel and the medical supply system. Results and Conclusions: As a result, the hospital emergency management plan can ease the emergency department workload, protect healthcare personnel, and control cross infection during the COVID-19 outbreak. Each hospital needs to create an emergency plan suitable for its own conditions. Hospitals can take interim measures, including online consultation, zoning, and epidemic priority to relieve pressure on clinical trials, reduce cross-infection, and strengthen protection of high-risk personnel.

The natural or man-made disasters causes the phenomena that leave the most permanent damage on living things, both materially and spiritually. The current days, although technology used extensively in many areas, it also brings with the risks of creating disasters due to misuse. Such disasters usually occur unconsciously and take place in industrial establishments [2]. In this context, chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) disasters are damaging events belonging to these two sub-types, and the extent of the damage they cause may be large and their effects may be long-term and permanent [3]. For a possible case of such disasters, states should plan in advance what to do at the event and prepare in a large-scale disaster management plan. Hospital disaster and emergency OPEN ACCESS
