    Abstract The identification of a novel respiratory pathogen in late December 2019 and the escalation in the number of infections in January 2020 required healthcare facilities to rapidly assess their planning and preparations to identify and manage suspected or confirmed cases. As a Regional Emerging Special Pathogens Treatment Center, many of the policies, resources, and tools Massachusetts General Hospital had developed before the COVID-19 pandemic were based on the Identify-Isolate-Inform concept to enable rapid identification of persons under investigation; isolation from other patients, visitors, and staff; and appropriate information sharing with internal and external parties to ensure continued safety of the facility and community. Our team sought to leverage these existing resources to support other healthcare facilities and implemented a modified Plan-Do-Study-Act approach to develop, refine, and disseminate a novel coronavirus toolkit. The toolkit underwent 3 Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles resulting in revisions of specific products, and the addition of new products to the toolkit. The toolkit provided access to templated algorithms, policies and procedures, signage, and educational materials, which could be customized for local needs and implemented immediately. There was broad dissemination and use of the resources provided in the toolkit and response to end-user feedback was provided in subsequent revisions. This project demonstrates the role that Regional Emerging Special Pathogens Treatment Centers can play in supporting the sharing of resources and best practices, and the utility of a Plan-Do-Study-Act approach in meeting needs.

    Abstract Objective: An effective hospital response to mass casualty incidents (MCIs) requires rapid mobilization of personnel capable of caring for critically ill trauma patients and availability of resuscitation resources.
    Methods: Hospitals facing an MCI wrestle with the challenge of immediately adjusting their overextended clinical operations to resuscitate a large number of rapidly arriving patients without compromising the care of existing patients.
    Results: Hospitalists are well positioned to add significant value by off-loading the emergency department (ED) given their broad clinical expertise. We describe our institution's protocol to generate immediate and sustained surge capacity by integrating our hospitalist service into MCI response.
    Conclusions: Our protocol details the safe and rapid transfer of care of existing ED patients to hospitalist teams to make ED staff and space available to care for incoming MCI patients.

    Abstract Background: Whereas organizational literature has provided much insight into the conceptual and theoretical underpinnings of organizational leadership and management during emergencies, measures to operationalize related effective practices during crises remain sparse.
    Purpose: To address this need, we developed the Healthcare Emergency Response Optimization survey, which set out to examine the leadership and management practices in health care organizations that support resilience and performance during crisis.
    Methodology: We administered an online survey in April to May 2022 to health care administrators and frontline staff intimately involved in their hospital's emergency response during the COVID-19 pandemic, which included a sample of 379 respondents across nine rural and urban hospitals (response rate: 44.4%). We used confirmatory factor analysis and quantile regressions to examine the results.
    Results: Applying confirmatory factor analysis, we retained 36 items in our survey that comprised eight measures for formal and informal practices to assess crisis leadership and management. To test effectiveness of the specified practices, we regressed self-reported resilience and performance measures on the formality and informality scores. Findings show that informal practices mattered most for resilience, whereas formal practices mattered most for performance. We also identified specific practices (anticipation, transactional and relational interactions, and ad hoc collaborations) for resilience and performance.
    Practice implications: These validated measures of organizational practices assess emergency response during crisis, with an emphasis on the actions and decisions of leadership as well as the management of organizational structures and processes. Organizations using these measures may subsequently modify preparedness and planning approaches to better manage future crises.

    Abstract Climate change is a threat multiplier, exacerbating underlying vulnerabilities, worsening human health, and disrupting health systems' abilities to deliver high-quality continuous care. This review synthesizes the evidence of what the health care sector can do to adapt to a changing climate while reducing its own climate impact, identifies barriers to change, and makes recommendations to achieve sustainable, resilient health care systems.
