The unfolding pandemic with "new influenza A/H1N1" in the spring and summer of 2009 has once again shown that disease outbreaks are inevitable and unpredictable events. The context surrounding outbreaks is unique and marked by uncertainty and confusion, in the general public, in public services and in health care which has to be taken into account in planning and preparing health care in general, and hospital health care in particular, for a flu pandemic. This thesis attempts to give some directions in dealing with these uncertain confusions.

The main aims of this thesis were; (1) to obtain insight in the use of hospital and intensive care unit resources; (2) to obtain insight into applicability of mathematical models for hospital health care preparation and (3) to obtain insight in human and material modifiable factors to plan for hospital health care scarce resources.
