Abstract

Hospital Safety Index (HSI) is used to assess the hospital readiness level in dealing with disaster situations. However, research on hospital readiness and resilience in Indonesia is still limited. The study aimed to develop the sustainable and disaster-resilient hospitals concept in five selected hospitals in DKI Jakarta based on HSI. A cross-sectional study design was used with purposive sampling techniques. These hospitals had conducted an HSI assessment for at least the last 2 years and had experienced a flood disaster that impacted their operations. The research used the quantitative (SWOT analysis, desk review) and the qualitative methods (FGD, in-depth interview). The results revealed that RSUD Cilincing Regional achieved the highest ranking for building integrity in Modules 2 and 3 of HSI. This was specifically due to their infrastructure protection elements, electrical systems, water supply systems, waste management systems, fuel storage systems, heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and medical and laboratory equipment and supplies used for diagnosis and treatment. RSUD Cilincing is the largest in Module 4 in terms of human resources, logistics, finance, patient services, support services, as well as evacuation, decontamination, and security systems. RSUD Cilincing scored 0.9 and was classified as a sustainable flood disaster-resilient hospital.
