Civilian disaster healthcare response systems are utilized in the United States (U.S.) during large-scale emergencies and disasters that negatively impact the healthcare delivery system of a community. The composition, design, deployment and effectiveness of these systems vary greatly across the nation. These systems are multidimensional and lack a consistent definition or collection of defining characteristics for effective use in modern healthcare. This study identified the operational characteristics of effective civilian disaster healthcare response systems in the U.S. The study incorporated the use of the e-Delphi technique to engage experts in the field of disaster response to determine consensus items that represent the defining operational characteristics of effective civilian disaster healthcare response systems in the U.S. These consensus characteristics will be used to enhance the disaster healthcare response system in a proactive manner and ultimately, save lives.
