ABSTRACT
Within this paper requirements and related gaps associated with cross-border pandemic management are analyzed. In order to systematically investigate the potential of solutions to close such gaps, trials can be executed and evaluated. Core elements of such trials are specific scenarios that frame the validation of the applicability of solutions. Stakeholders involved in pandemic management specified a framing for such scenarios such as cross-border common operational picture and resource management, pandemic management during a refugee crisis and sharing of mobile infrastructure to detect pathogens. An insight in these scenarios is given and, finally, solutions having the potential to close at least partially gaps arising in the mentioned scenarios provided from projects such as STAMINA are presented. © 2022 IDIMT.

ABSTRACT
Evaluations in the frame of the EU research projects DRIVER+ and STAMINA revealed that, aside from the multitude of solutions that can be applied to manage a pandemic (restraining measures, protective equipment, tests for epidemiological observations, therapies and vaccines, tools for predictions, resource planning and monitoring, IT solutions for public services), there is also a need for procedures on how to systematically evaluate such solutions. End users, e.g. in medical services have to ensure that new solutions fit to their established pandemic management processes in order to avoid unexpected side effects on the execution of their tasks. In this paper we show a new methodology designed to examine pandemic solutions and provide insights based on the different national trials of STAMINA. © 2021 IDIMT 2021 - Pandemics: Impacts, Strategies and Responses, 29th Interdisciplinary Information Management Talks All rights reserved.
