Abstract:

Objective To systematically analyze the macro environment of current public health emergency policy in China，provide scientific and rigorous theoretical support and decision-making reference for policy formulation and system optimization of public health emergency based on policy tools. Methods The focus was on the typical policies and measures for public health emergencies formulated at the national level from January 1，2000 to January 1，2023. Based on the theoretical support of policy modeling consistency（PMC） index model，the relevant policies and measures adopted in response to public health emergencies in China were evaluated numerically. Results The results of PMC index model showed that the average value of PMC index was 7.67 in 14 public health emergency policies formulated in China. Of the 14 policies，six were rated excellent while eight were rated good. The policy with the highest PMC index score was the National Public Health Emergency Response Plan，with a score of 8.45. The policy with the lowest score was the Regulations on Emergency Handling of Entry-exit Inspection and Quarantine for Public Health Emergencies at Frontier Ports，with a score of 6.68. Conclusion The overall scientific and rigorous policy of public health emergencies in China has played a significant role in effective prevention，rapid response and continuous elimination of public health emergencies and their hazards，but it still needs to be continuously optimized and improved according to changes in China's national conditions in the future.
