Hospital IQ, a Newton, MA-based provider of predictive hospital operations software, today announced it has launched a COVID-19 Regional Forecast Dashboard to help hospitals plan for the upcoming surge of patients. Hundreds of hospitals across the United States are actively using this free tool for better visibility to the county-level resource needs based on precise predictions of peak hospital admissions, bed capacity, and ventilators to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
How the COVID-19 Regional Forecast Dashboard Works
The COVID-19 Regional Forecast Dashboard automatically aggregates data from the IHME COVID-19 model, as well as other trusted sources (COVID Tracking Project, JUH, CDC) in real-time, to provide an up-to-date dashboard of current and forecasted COVID-19 cases and associated resource needs across each county in the United States. With population, point of curve, infection rates, and mitigation strategies varying from county-to-county and state-to-state, it’s critical to provide this regional view.
The Dashboard can be filtered to the county-level, giving hospital teams immediate access to 60-day forecasts of Med-Surg and ICU admissions, as well as associated bed capacity and ventilator needs required at predicted date of peak hospitalization and other critical regional metrics.
“The global community is in the throes of an unprecedented health crisis,” said Rich Krueger, CEO, Hospital IQ. “Based on the valuable work of researchers and data teams focused on COVID-19, Hospital IQ built our Regional Forecast Dashboard to help hospitals quickly collect and aggregate critical data to ensure appropriate and timely patient care. In less than a week, hundreds of hospitals around the country are already using the Dashboard to prepare for upcoming patient surges.”
