COVID-19 Capacity Planning Tool Demo: New Infection Forecasting with Empirical Modeling

Last month we introduced our public Capacity Planning Tool to support your ongoing COVID-19 response and recovery. We have introduced a major update allowing you to forecast infections based upon actual county level data and dynamic infection spread rates (Empirical Model), as well as better classification of ICU patients. You can still run multiple scenarios and estimate demand for beds, mechanical ventilators, supplies such as personal protection equipment (PPE), and staff. We hope that you will view this demo as our experts, Jason Jones, Ph.D., and John Hansmann, MSIE, FHIMSS, DSHS, explain how to best use these new features and answer questions from the audience.
