Measurement of resilience potential - development of a resilience assessment grid for emergency departments.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Resilience engineering has been advocated as an alternative to the management of safety over the last decade in many domains. However, to facilitate metrics for measuring and helping analyze the resilience potential for emergency departments (EDs) remains a significant challenge. The study aims to redesign the Hollnagel's resilience assessment grid (RAG) into a custom-made RAG (ED-RAG) to support resilience management in EDs.

Methods

The study approach had three parts: 1) translation of Hollnagel's RAG into Chinese version, followed by generation of a tailored set of ED-RAG questions adapted to EDs; 2) testing and revising the tailored sets until to achieve satisfactory validity for application; 3) design of a new rating scale and scoring method. The test criteria
