Dynamic preparedness metric: methodology report [1]

[]

Date: 2025-03

Overview

The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed the Dynamic Preparedness Metric (DPM) to support country preparedness for health emergencies. The DPM can inform countries of their preparedness status and support prioritization and implementation of specific actions to improve capacities. By providing a dynamic, evidence-based, risk-based metric the DPM signals a shift in the paradigm of measuring and acting for preparedness. The DPM varies from the multiple indices that currently exist to measure a country’s health emergency preparedness status which are cross-sectional, do not reflect current and changing risks, particularly as demonstrated by the COVID-19 pandemic, and are not linked to implementable actions. The DPM addresses the gap in linking risk to action for health emergency preparedness.
