英文摘要 | Climate change will lead to Belgium facing an increasing number of flooding disasters. Those climate events lead to health complications, especially in vulnerable populations. This is coupled with the difficulty of ensuring continuity of care, as material damage is often such that the local primary care system may be rendered out of service for several weeks. This is why we investigated what IT tools could be useful to improve the continuity of care in the event of flooding, and to prioritise the treatment of fragile populations to reduce post-traumatic mortality. We carried out qualitative research through semi-directed interviews with different profiles of experts involved in flood health management. To improve continuity of care after floods, the doctors interviewed suggested creating a search engine combining geographical data with health fragility criteria specific to floods and socio- economic conditions to target the patients most at risk of suffering serious consequences of such events, and depending on the intensity of the phenomenon. To optimise its use, it would ideally be integrated into the software used daily by general practitioners so that data would be systematically encoded. This tool would be combined with a warning system to alert doc- tors and relatives of exposed patients. The development of such a tool requires anticipating the needs which arise during floods and training front -line actors to use it in their daily practice. Several projects are underway in this direction and functional tools exist in Belgium. The ideal would be to have a tool which is common to the three Belgian communities, allowing external aid to be directly operational. It may also be interesting to extend the reflection to other unpredictable climatic events. |
