It has the proficiency to predict the coronavirus patients and days until capacity is reached for medical-surgical, ICU care, and ventilators.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But before this, let\u2019s first understand the reasons for healthcare professionals becoming infected with novel coronavirus and why hospitals are struggling to cope up with COVID-19.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>The Challenges &#8211; hospitals and healthcare workers are facing to deal with COVID-19<\/b><\/h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.journalofhospitalinfection.com\/article\/S0195-6701(20)30101-8\/pdf\">an article published in the Journal of Hospital Infection<\/a><\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, there are major 4&nbsp; reasons why hospitals and healthcare professionals can\u2019t combat COVID-19 safely. These 4 reasons are,&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>\n<h3><b>Inadequate personal protection of healthcare workers&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though hospitals and governments are providing personal protective equipment to front line workers, not all equipment meets the standard.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>\n<h3><b>Long-time exposure to large numbers of infected patients<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number of coronavirus patients increases suddenly. Thus, healthcare professionals have to work on \u2018extended shifts\u2019 which keep them close to the large number of infected patients for a longer time.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>\n<h3><b>Pressure of treatment, work intensity<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hospitals are overwhelmed and healthcare professionals are overburdened. They are treating more patients in a day than ever. Such work intensity affects their mental health. It also makes them neglect their own safety while working ceaselessly.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>\n<h3><b>Shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE)<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Almost all hospitals in highly affected countries face this challenge. They lack the personal protective equipment and cannot even estimate how many more they will require in upcoming days with rising coronavirus cases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, now when you know the challenges care units and healthcare professionals are facing, let\u2019s reveal a technologically advanced solution that decodes and solves each of these challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>The Solution &#8211; PPE Supplies Tracker &#8211; the best COVID-19 tool in Canada<\/b><\/h1>\n\n<br>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>What is the PPE Supplies Tracker?<\/b><\/h3>\n<br>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PPE Supplies Tracker is the tool that works on the AI technology and predicts the number of estimated COVID-19 patients you will have in your hospital in the next 7 days and days until capacity is reached for Med-surg, ICU, and ventilators.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, it is worth mentioning that the PPE Supplies Tracker tool projects the number of PPE required in the future by projecting admission of patients. If the admission of patients is estimated to increase by 5% in the next 7 days, you need to pile up PPE at more than 5% to keep healthcare professionals safe!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The underlying purpose of this tool is to determine the impact of COVID-19 demand on critical resource capacities of each hospital. The accuracy of this tool is very high as it uses the HRR (Hospital Referral Regions) rather than counties to better find out care-seeking patients in a small region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make a prediction, the tool uses data such as the number of known COVID-19 cases, doubling time, population demographics, and incubation &amp; recovery time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>How does PPE Supplies Tracker work?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since PPE Supplies Tracker is the AI-enabled tool, it works genuinely with data. But the best part of this tool is that it gets all important data to run the model from the trusted government sources automatically. It also supports manual data entry. Because of the flexibility it has, the working of PPE Supplies Tracker is very straightforward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Step 1:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As soon as you select the hospital which you would like to model, the tool shows you the most recent case count, population, and growth rate of the cases in selected geographies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Step 2:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Later, the model assumes the market share of the selected hospital. This market share is very crucial as it determines the number of COVID-19 patients the model will estimate for the hospital relative to the market. It is assumed based on beds at the selected hospital divided by total beds available in HRR (Hospital Referral Regions).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Step 3:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The tool shows you the bed counts and typical occupancy of non-COVID-19 patients at your selected hospital. It gets this data from definitive healthcare. You can also manually update bed counts. You can also even add the additional surge capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Step 4:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The tool asks you to input the current COVID-19 census if you have any.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Step 5: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tool runs the model and shows you the output.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>The output &#8211; of PPE Supplies Tracker &#8211; the best COVID-19 tool in Canada<\/b><\/h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The PPE Supplies Tracker tool shows you the following key output &#8211;<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Number of patients you will have in your hospital in next 7 days<\/span><\/li>\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patients who will need Med-Surg<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patients who will need ICU care<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patients who will need ventilation <\/span><\/li>\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Days after hospital resources such as Med-Surg, ICU, ventilators run out<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Total number of deaths in the next 45 days<\/li>\n<li>Estimated PPE required over time<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>How can SyS Creations help you to deploy PPE Supplies Tracker?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SyS Creations is the Canada-based top IT solution, service, and consultation providing company.
