Abstract:
In a recently published paper, Baker Rogers provided significant insights into enhancing emergency preparedness in hospices. A literature review identified 26 articles focusing on various aspects of hospice emergency preparedness, organized into 6 key themes: Policies and Procedures; Testing/Training/Education; Integration and Coordination; Mitigation; Risk Assessment/Hazard and Vulnerability Analysis; and Regulations. These themes highlight the multifaceted approach required for effective disaster readiness in hospice settings. This correspondence article aims to apply these findings to the Philippine context, suggesting pathways to strengthen the resilience of hospice care during disasters.
