Anti-crisis management of a health care institution

Abstract

Effective crisis management is essential in healthcare to ensure institutional resilience and community well-being. This thesis examines the anti-crisis management strategies at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, USA. The study analyzes the preparedness, response, and recovery measures employed by the medical center during various crises, utilizing qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Key areas of focus include the structure and mechanisms of the crisis management system, specific response strategies for medical epidemics, natural disasters, and other emergencies, and the critical role of leadership in crisis situations. The research also investigates interactions with stakeholders, including the community, patients, partners, and other healthcare institutions. The findings provide insights into effective crisis management practices, offering valuable lessons and recommendations for healthcare leaders, policymakers, and practitioners to enhance crisis preparedness and response globally.
