When hospitals are confronted with a health emergency episode, the capacity, availability and resilience of physical infrastructure systems are often assumed as ready and with unlimited capacity. However, in real-life situations, inadequate planning and a misinterpretation of infrastructure capabilities and capacities leads to essential component failures, and to breakdowns in overall robustness. Without sound and operational technical systems in place, both patients and hospital staff are at risk.
