To help hospital's decision makers understand the factors affecting functional continuity and reduce their risk of losing critical functions it is recommended that the hospitals develop a hospital disaster management plan. Considering the importance of functional hospital, the World Health Organization (WHO) SEARO has developed the Hospital Safety Index+ (HSI+) Application on the three different platforms namely Web, Android and iOS with almost similar functionality. The HSI+ App combines the safety assessment of structural, non-structural and emergency and disaster management aspects along with the basic contents of a hospital Disaster Management Plan. The App will help you understand the strength and weaknesses in your hospital (structural, non-structural and emergency and disaster management) under the module HSI evaluation and also develop the basic hospital Disaster Management Plan. The HSI+ App is expected to play a vital role in making hospital safer at local, national and regional levels. It helps hospitals be better prepared to manage various types of events, from simple and limited emergencies to major incidents.

The app will have following level of users in your hospital that you will have to make. The first level user is you (the hospital administrator) who has complete control over the Apps. You can add different level of users, and can fill up, edit, and view the data. The App has many sections and a few sub-sections that are specifically customized to help obtain information relevant to assess hospital's safety and to develop a hospital disaster management plan. Being the hospital administrator, you will have to carry out the following responsibilities to add users as well as to manage data of your hospital. You are responsible for a). Filling up sections of the app, b). Assigning specific section leaders to fill up section, c). Adding as many app viewers as needed. It is to be noted that the two sections, hospital profile and hospital safety committees will be filled up by hospital administrator in the web app only. However, hospital admin can edit the data entered in hospital profile and hospital safety committee section in Android or iOS mobile app. Assigning specific section leaders to fill up section (s) and adding app viewer (s) will be done in web app only.

The App has many sections and a few sub-sections that are specifically customized to help your hospital obtain information relevant to assess hospital's safety and to develop a hospital disaster management plan. The guidance notes have been added in the beginning of each section to help you fill up the required information.
