Analysis of the Hospital Medical Surge Preparedness Index in Relation to Hospital Characteristics and Social Determinants of Health
In conclusion, hospital medical surge preparedness is unevenly distributed across the U.S. health care system, with larger, not-for-profit, and teaching institutions having higher preparedness scores on the HMSPI, while a greater percentage of patients covered by Medicare/Medicaid is linked to lower scores.
