EvalHCID is a clinical decision support system integrating outbreak intelligence, symptom onset, and epidemiologic risk factors to identify high consequence infectious diseases (HCIDs) (eg, Ebola). Tested among 20 emergency department (ED) providers, it significantly reduced assessment time, lowered misclassification, and scored "excellent" usability. EvalHCID may improve institutional preparedness and patient outcomes for emerging infectious disease threats.

Despite growing recognition of the interdependencies of resilience across systems, sectors, and levels (SSLs), translating this understanding into coordinated action remains a challenge. This study identifies seven systemic gaps that reinforce a persistent know–do gap, creating an unhealthy that reinforces fragmentation across SSLs. In response, seven prerequisites for synergizing resilience are proposed, along with a working definition of Synergistic Resilience.
