Hospitals are critical facilities for medical care and emergency shelter. Because of the high risk of severe casualties in the event of a hospital fire, ensuring fire safety and emergency preparedness are critical priorities. The Ministry of Health and Welfare Taipei Hospital in Taiwan has long implemented multifaceted measures to comprehensively enhance hospital environmental safety and fire prevention capabilities, upgrading infrastructure, installing fire protection systems, strengthening management protocols, and providing emergency response training for staff.
This study examined the application of the SIMFIRE program in hemodialysis units. Using computerbased scenario simulations, the program models fire incidents at different times of day, providing a scientific and systematic approach to validating and optimizing emergency response plans and reinforcing hospital disaster prevention mechanisms. These measures mitigate fire risks and ensure the safety of patients and medical staff, creating a more secure health care environment.
