Innovations in Crisis Management Systems at Residential Facilities for Seniors in the Czech Republic
摘要
Residential facilities for seniors are at threat from various risks. The authorities and providers of residential social-service facilities are responsible for preparing for these risks and should take a pro-active approach to this issue and prepare for the resolution of emergency events. The entities responsible can be said, however, to not consider these risks in a comprehensive manner, but to focus generally merely on risks within the facility. The initial stage of crisis management is the identification of all risks (external and internal) that may have a negative impact on the health and life of the population and the operability of the organisation or facility. The aim of this chapter is to create a register of threats posing a risk to residential facilities for seniors and to propose a method to increase their crisis preparedness. Qualitative research methods were used to achieve this aim. An overview of supranational concepts, research of the literature and a SWOT matrix were performed. The results of the research will be progressively checked and verified at selected residential facilities for seniors.
