Steps in Outbreak Investigation01:18

Steps in Outbreak Investigation

227
In the ever-evolving field of public health, statistical analysis serves as a cornerstone for understanding and managing disease outbreaks. By leveraging various statistical tools, health professionals can predict potential outbreaks, analyze ongoing situations, and devise effective responses to mitigate impact. For that to happen, there are a few possible stages of the analysis:

Design Example: Analyzing Capacity Contours for Flood Risk Assessment01:17

Design Example: Analyzing Capacity Contours for Flood Risk Assessment

120
Flood risk assessment involves careful planning and analysis to ensure the safety of communities near water retention structures. Capacity contours are a vital tool in this process, as they illustrate the potential spread of water at specific levels in a given area. In the context of building a bund across a small valley, these contours play a critical role in evaluating the safety of nearby residential areas.In this example, the bund is intended to store stormwater in the valley. The engineers...

Principles of Disease Surveillance01:26

Principles of Disease Surveillance

193
Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...

Response Surface Methodology01:16

Response Surface Methodology

295
Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is a collection of statistical and mathematical techniques used to develop, improve, and optimize processes. It is particularly valuable when many input variables or factors potentially influence a response variable.
The process of RSM involves several key steps:

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Hospitals prepared for SARS-CoV-2 by redeploying mobile paediatric emergency response teams.
  • Texas Children's Hospital (TCH) leveraged prior experience with alternative care sites (ACS) for surge events.
  • Simulation-based clinical systems testing (SbCST) is a method for testing spaces and processes before occupancy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and implement rapid SbCST with social distancing for pandemic response.
  • To test alternative care sites (ACS) and associated processes during a pandemic.
  • To identify and prioritize latent safety threats (LSTs) in a hospital setting.

Main Methods:

  • A two-phased approach included virtual tabletop activities and SbCST at multiple campuses.
  • Activities were conducted with social distancing, accommodating both in-person and virtual participation.
  • Promoting Excellence and Reflective Learning in Simulation (PEARLS) facilitated debriefing, followed by Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).

Main Results:

  • Within two weeks, 109 latent safety threats (LSTs) were identified across 20 departments.
  • 71 LSTs were classified as very high or high priority.
  • Hospital leadership prioritized mitigation efforts for high-priority threats.

Conclusions:

  • SbCST is a valuable tool for rapid pandemic response and identification of LSTs.
  • The methodology facilitated virtual participation and social distancing during a public health crisis.
  • Prioritized FMEA reporting enabled leadership to address surge capacity concerns (staff, stuff, structure, systems).
