Review by the SAB
By Dr. Lydia Cassorla, on behalf of the SAB
Authors provide a comprehensive description of the design, dissemination, and implementation of an algorithm for multidisciplinary critical care staffing during surge demand, as implemented by a 40-hospital multi-state healthcare system. Staff is tiered according to skills and experience with team leadership roles for the most appropriate. On-site and telemedicine supervision are employed to optimally leverage oversight and scaling of patient loads. The plan provides for doubling of 750 ICU beds out of a total 5500 beds. Consistent terminology and role-definition facilitate redeployment and allocation of human resources to meet changing local needs across diverse hospitals.
