Experts from Sg2 – a Vizient company – have created a COVID-19 Surge Demand Calculator – a scenario planning tool that calculates market-specific, age-adjusted projections of non-ICU bed, ICU and ventilator demand. Calculations are based on varying transmission rates observed internationally as initial disease spread, mitigation and containment strategies play out.
Updated Dec. 2020:
The calculator has been enhanced to reflect new intelligence and assumptions about the virus. The new model now takes into consideration reduced ICU and ventilator rates, reduced hospitalization rates, reinfection cases, and shorter length of stay.
The U.S. is facing a new surge of COVID-19 cases, with the level of impact varying depending on your health system’s local market. Experts from Sg2, a Vizient company, have developed the insights and resources you need to inject data-driven planning for inpatient bed and ICU capacity to inform your surge response while also modeling subsequent surges and adjusting for impacts of social distancing within your market.
The COVID-19 Surge Demand Calculator is a scenario planning tool that calculates market-specific, age-adjusted projections of non-ICU bed, ICU and ventilator demand, based on varying transmission rates observed internationally as initial disease spread, mitigation and containment strategies play out. The calculator incorporates infectious disease modeling specific to COVID-19 and has been vetted by hospital systems, Vizient biostatisticians, and epidemiologic and pandemic experts.
The tool uses a unique approach to modeling market-level ICU, non-ICU and ventilator demand due to COVID-19.
Learn how surge demand can be modeled for your organization for ICU beds, medical/surgery beds and ventilator demand; context relevant in understanding the timing of the demand for COVID-19; and statistical underpinnings of modeling in an epidemic.
