Pre-COVID surge analysis shows lack of hospital pandemic planning – CIDRAP
Hospitals were under serious strain during the 2017-18 flu season, yet no pandemic planning resulted.
Phone interviews with key capacity managers at 53 US hospitals about preparedness for the 2017-18 flu epidemic revealed a lack of surge capacity, strained resources, and low prioritization of pandemic planning, according to a qualitative study today in JAMA Network Open.
Researchers at Emory University and the University of Pittsburgh conducted the semistructured interviews among a random sample of capacity managers at 25 geographically diverse hospitals from April 2018 to January 2019.
