The document presents a seismic risk assessment model for a hospital's emergency department (ED). The model includes physical, functional, and patient-oriented submodels linked together. The physical submodel uses structural analysis to determine floor accelerations and drift from ground motions. The functional submodel assesses loss of functionality to examination and operating rooms. The patient-oriented submodel models patient flow through the ED and calculates performance indices based on waiting times. The full model is used to predict ED performance in an earthquake scenario and provide a seismic risk analysis framework.

•The National Seismological Service was founded on the 1st of May, in response to the 1906 Valparaiso
earthquake.
1960
•The Mw9.5 Valdivia earthquake, the largest earthquake in recorded history, strikes in the south of Chile,
along the outskirts of Lumaco, causing widespread damage.

effort to establish a coordinating entity for disaster response and recovery.
1985
•The first anti-seismic law is updated to accommodate for new building conditions and anti-seismic
requirements.
2010

CIGIDEN is an interdisciplinary research effort whose primary goal is to
contribute towards minimizing the social consequences of natural disasters, by
developing, integrating, and disseminating scientific, technological, and social
knowledge, while simultaneously developing the scientific and technical
capacities required to strengthen and position Chile as a world research leader
in natural disaster research

Context and motivation
• Hospitals play a key role in the emergency response of communities struck
by earthquakes, e.g. one hospital lost leaves an average of 200,000 people
without attention (WHO/PAHO, 2016).
• There is a growing expectation to satisfy a high level of safety in hospitals
in Chile, i.e. efforts are focused on achieving the international strategy
promoted by the WHO/PAHO entitled “Hospital Seguro”.
• Chile has a modern seismic code that ensure structure stability, but non-
structural damages in hospitals are still extensive.

Conclusion
• The model is composed of explicit physical, functional and patient-
oriented submodels in cascade (no use of metamodels or penalty factors).
• Our model predicts how the Emergency Department (ED) will perform in
an earthquake scenario and a seismic risk framework.
• It provides quantitative outputs such as the return period of the waiting
time-based performance index, which can be of high interests for decision
makers to implement protective measure if the return period is too high.
Some perspectives
• Scale the model to a Chilean healthcare network of emergency, e.g. by
adding the emergency primary healthcare centers (SAPUs).
• Improve the submodels, e.g. better characterization of the downtimes,
complexification of the DES model with human resources, improvement of
the link between physical and functional losses.
