‘Lavoriamo a cambio paradigma, promuovendo test e stili vita’

Objective
The 2021 Pacific Northwest heat dome was Washington state’s deadliest recorded weather event and presented unprecedented response challenges to the state’s health sector. Understanding the impacts of this extreme heat event (EHE) on the sector as well as the barriers to and facilitators of implementing effective heat response is critical to preparing for future events, which are happening more frequently in the region due to climate change.

Design
Guided by an implementation science framework, we convened listening sessions and focus groups of the health sector in western Washington to reflect on regional response efforts.

Setting
Health sector organisations in 15 counties in western Washington State, USA: Clallam, Grays Harbor, Island, Jefferson, King, Kitsap, Lewis, Mason, Pacific, Pierce, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish, Thurston and Whatcom.

Participants
A convenience sample of 109 listening group participants was recruited through the professional networks of the Northwest Healthcare Response Network, a regional healthcare coalition. 27 of the health sector professionals were recruited using purposive sampling to participate in seven focus groups organised by organisation type.

Results
The co-presence of the COVID-19 pandemic, limited staff capacity, resource acquisition challenges and inadequate regional collaboration emerged as key barriers, while advanced planning, indoor cooling capabilities, adapting strategies to local needs, robust internal relationships and strong external partnerships were reported to facilitate effective response. Establishing centralised coordination ahead of heat events, making improvements to the cooling capabilities of the built environment, developing plans and policies for EHEs that have co-benefits for other events, adopting evidence-informed response strategies, institutionalising the knowledge and relationships developed through prior events and improving evaluative processes (such as developing real-time monitoring capacity) will enable more effective response to future EHEs.

Conclusions
Western Washington’s health sector implemented EHE response activities that enabled essential service continuity, despite limited resources, unfamiliarity with EHEs and other systemic challenges. The recency of the heat dome presents an opportunity to incorporate lessons learnt into practice, policies, plans and built environment; these are necessary improvements ahead of future large-scale events the region may experience in the coming decades.
