Developing a conceptual framework to facilitate inter-organizational partnership in disasters and public health emergencies

By integrating collaboration and integration theories, this study offers a robust model for enhancing partnerships during disasters and public health emergencies. The proposed framework improves resource utilization, inter-agency coordination, cooperation, and overall effectiveness of collaborative responses, all while maintaining system flexibility. Future research should focus on validating this framework through practical applications, such as simulation exercises and real-world deployments.
