Afterward, we utilized the Delphi method to consult 15 frontline health emergency response practitioners, health management officials, and research experts. After two rounds of questionnaire consultations, participants scored the importance and feasibility of all indicators. Subsequently, we employed the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to determine the weights assigned to each indicator and construct the framework of health emergency response capability evaluation for primary health institutions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We developed a framework for evaluating the health emergency response capabilities of primary health institutions in metropolis, comprising 3 first-level indicators, 11\u202fs-level indicators, and 37 third-level indicators. In both rounds of consultation, experts provided a unanimous positive consensus, with a 100% agreement rate. The authority coefficient was 0.92 for both rounds, and the <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>-value of Kendall\u2019s W was statistically significant (&amp;lt;0.001). Furthermore, compared to the first round, the level of coordination among experts improved in the second round. In the process of judging matrices, the consistency ratios (CRs) of indicators at all levels were less than 0.1. For first-level indicators, including \u201cprevention and monitoring,\u201d \u201cresource reserve and system construction,\u201d and \u201cemergency response and summarization,\u201d the respective weight values were 0.286, 0.335, and 0.379, respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study developed a framework for evaluating the health emergency response capabilities of primary health institutions in metropolis.
