Top ten knowledge DB entries related to Methodological Lessons Learned are listed below.
Assessment of the reliability of the Johns Hopkins/Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality hospital disaster drill evaluation tool.
Summary

This study was limited by the small number of hospitals and the modest number of observer pairs. Because only 6 of 17 hospitals agreed to participate, there is a possibility the hospitals were not representative.

A survey of the practice of nurses' skills in Wenchuan earthquake disaster sites: implications for disaster training.

The effectiveness of a disaster training programme for healthcare workers in Greece.

Summary

The current work considers only static snapshots of the network, but changes to the system (e.g., from hazards or accidents) will impact the network topology.

Disaster spread simulation and rescue time optimization in a resource network.
Summary

The models, computational approaches and simulation system devised in this study are far from being a practical to address the problems of disaster spread and control in resource networks.The study has not been verified with reference to concrete disaster spread and rescue practice.

Health worker and policy-maker perspectives on use of intramuscular artesunate for pre-referral and definitive treatment of severe malaria at health posts in Ethiopia.
