Abstract

Strategic planning plays a crucial role in ensuring the efficiency and effectiveness of health emergency response and resource management. This paper examines the significance of strategic planning in preparing healthcare systems and organizations to effectively respond to emergencies, including pandemics, natural disasters, and public health crises. By implementing strategic planning processes, healthcare entities can proactively identify risks, allocate resources efficiently, and coordinate response efforts to mitigate the impact of emergencies on public health and safety. This paper discusses the key components of strategic planning for emergency preparedness and explores its implications for enhancing response capabilities and resource management in healthcare settings.
