ارزیابی آسیب پذیری خانه بهداشت و درمان با استفاده از نظریه گراف و روش های ماتریس

The accumulation of factors like climate variability, epidemics and the increasing mobility of people around the world have increased the devastator impact of disasters. Furthermore, people have become more aware and exigent especially in terms of healthcare. Hence, a lot of pressure has been exercised on the healthcare system. Home Health Care (HHC), as a vital component of the healthcare system is facing manifolds crisis that can undermine its activities. This paper addresses the question of HHC vulnerability assessment. We use digraph presentation and matrix operations in order to synthetize indexes that infer the severity of crisis situations that a HHC facility could face, based on the predefined criteria. We introduce dynamic vulnerability assessment that takes into account cascading events over time. Vulnerability Priority Index (VPI) has been proposed to support decision-making related to the design of countermeasures and mitigation policies.
