Why did READY Create These Simulations?
We created the Outbreak READY! Digital Readiness and Response Simulations to strengthen the operational and health technical readiness of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to respond to large-scale infectious disease outbreaks in humanitarian contexts. Through unique, digital interpretations of an outbreak simulation, READY brings the complex nature of a humanitarian outbreak response to life utilizing a computer-based serious game that allows participants to test and refine their outbreak readiness skills and knowledge.
The simulations follow evolving outbreaks from the first detection of a disease to its spread throughout the population and are designed for humanitarian practitioners working for national and international NGOs responding to outbreaks in humanitarian settings. In both simulations, players take the role of a team member for a medium-sized, international NGO named READY. The NGO operates in Thisland, a fictitious, low-income country that has experienced recent civil conflict and mass displacement.
objetivos de aprendizado
Surto PRONTO!
- Descreva as principais áreas de prontidão operacional ao se preparar para um surto de doença infecciosa em ambientes humanitários e avaliar como investimentos e compensações em prontidão operacional impactar os resultados da resposta a surtos.
- Identifique as principais partes interessadas e estruturas de coordenação que são essenciais para a resposta a surtos em ambientes humanitários e pesar seu impacto sobre multissetorial atividades de resposta a surtos.
- Explique os papéis de vários setores técnicos e transversais na preparação e resposta a surtos de doenças infecciosas e desenvolver atividades que integrar vários setores numa resposta a um surto.
- Usar dados epidemiológicos, de avaliação e de feedback da comunidade informar e desenvolver organizações estratégias de gestão adaptativa e planos de resposta para inclusivo e ético respostas a surtos em emergências humanitárias.
Outbreak READY 2!: Thisland em crise
- Applied epidemiology for clinical and public health response: Implementing and coordinating a data-driven health response to an evolving infectious disease outbreak.
- Effective communication and community engagement: Developing and implementing an RCCE strategy using a data-driven approach.
- Humanitarian leadership: Minimizing risks and vulnerabilities to crisis-affected people, staff, and partners throughout an outbreak response.
Agradecimentos
Surto PRONTO! e Outbreak READY 2!: Thisland em crise were developed by the READY initiative. We would like to thank the Johns Hopkins Center for Humanitarian Health for its leadership in the development of both simulations. Additional acknowledgments and thanks are on the landing pages for each simulation.
