The authors describe Taiwan’s Communicable Disease Control Medical Network, which was established after the 2003 SARS outbreak, and discuss its performance during the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic and the West African Ebola outbreak. They discuss similarities with the tiered response system established in the U.S. for Ebola, identify strengths as the establishment of a command system with well-prepared hospitals and trained personnel, and note the challenges of maintaining funding, clarifying the role of local public health authorities, and incentivizing the participation of frontline clinical staff.

The Office of Inspector General conducted a nationwide, online survey of 368 hospitals followed by 40 interviews to determine whether actions taken to respond to the Ebola outbreak improved their preparedness for emerging infectious diseases. They found that 86% of hospitals reported they were prepared to receive an emerging infectious disease patient compared to only 29% in 2014. However, hospitals also reported challenges in sustaining their preparedness over time and balancing the need to prepare for emerging infectious diseases with other hazards.
