Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we first clarified the functions that ensure continued healthcare services in a disaster. In addition, we created a matrix of the functions and related organizations needed to fulfill the functions. Based on the matrix, this study clarified educational content to establish an Area Business Continuity Management System for disaster medicine. The results have been presented in an easy-to-read table. Furthermore, we conducted education and training using the proposed table to verify its validity. As a result, it could be concluded that education implemented using the proposed table can enhance the effectiveness of disaster medicine exercises.
