  Abstract: Objective To empirically evaluate the emergency response capacity of a large tertiary hospital in Beijing using a previously established evaluation index system, to identify weaknesses in emergency management, and propose targeted improvement recommendations.Methods The evaluation index system for hospital emergency response capacity, previously developed using the Delphi method and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), was employed. This system comprises 3 first-level indicators and 15 second-level indicators. Twenty professionals familiar with hospital emergency management were invited to assess the hospitals emergency capacity using the Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation (FCE) method. The evaluation vector was calculated using the weighted average operator, and the evaluation grade was determined based on the maximum membership principle.Results The FCE results showed that the overall emergency response capacity of the hospital was rated as moderate (membership degree: 0.2953). Among the dimensions, pre-event prevention was rated as good (0.3381), while both in-event control (0.3295) and post-event disposal (0.4526) were rated as moderate. Of the 15 second-level indicators, only 3 (20%) reached the good level, while 12 (80%) were rated as moderate.Conclusion The hospitals emergency response capacity is generally at a moderate level, with strengths in pre-event prevention but significant weaknesses in in-event control and post-event disposal. It is recommended to systematically enhance the hospitals emergency management capacity by focusing on improving emergency response speed, supervision mechanisms, and post-event evaluation systems.
