Does the “state of disaster” response have a downside? Hospital incident command group leaders’ experiences of a terrorist-induced major incident: a qualitative study

The data created from the interviews identified barriers and facilitators for hospital response as well as aligned with previously established categories: Expectations, prior experience, and uncertainty affect hospital incident command group response during a Major Incident and three categories, (I) Gaining situational awareness (containing two subcategories), (II) Transitioning to management (containing three subcategories) and (III) Experiences of hospital incident command group response (containing two subcategories). In addition, the results suggest that an exaggerated response may have led to unanticipated adverse events.
