Hospitals worldwide faced an unprecedented and uncertain influx of patients with a high-resource consumption during the first wave of COVID-19.
Hospitals were required to make regional predictions on hospital admission and resource requirements to plan, prepare and respond to the crisis. This presentation aims to provide insights based on the experience and modelling efforts of Addenbrookes Hospital, based in Cambridge (UK), to predict local hospital admissions, model patient flows through the hospital and estimate subsequent use of resources.
This project was one of a set of three projects that led to the The Institute for Manufacturing (IfM) being recognised by the Royal Academy of Engineering as one of 19 winners in the President’s Special Awards for Pandemic Service. Find out more [ Ссылка ]
