THE CHALLENGE IS COMPLEX,BUT OUR GOAL IS SIMPLE: TO SAVE LIVES.

Critical Shortages of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

• Worked with international suppliers to deliver 575,000 FDA-certified respirators to New York City hospitals, working through Governor Cuomo’s procurement office.
• Connected 100,000 FDA-certified respirators to Masks for America, a volunteer coalition of everyday Americans joining forces to deliver protective masks directly to frontline healthcare workers in COVID-19 hotspots.
• Prepared guidelines, assisted purchases, and piloted novel solutions to decontaminate respirators so they can be reused multiple times, extending their lifecycle.

Implementing Social Policies/NPIs

• Launched an NPI dashboard that provides real-time tracking of state-wide NPI implementation. As states begin relaxing NPIs, we’ll be able to see the impact.

Achieving Data-Driven Clinical Care Outcomes

• Developing a minimal common data set  for COVID-19, along with EHR vendors, which will help aggregate data from across the U.S. The first use case will be researching clinical outcomes on treatments such as hydroxychloroquine.
• Supporting the rapid scale-up of telemedicine as part of a fully integrated healthcare delivery system. See a starting set of best practices in the Resource Library.
• Helping Mayo Clinic manage a national convalescent plasma trial , which is attracting thousands of health systems and patients.

REQUEST: Please send us your best practices for setting up field hospitals and facilities for recovering COVID-19 patients. Include operations (equipment, human resource and management protocols), as well as clinical guidelines (patient triage, isolation, treatment). Submit to c19-hcc-best-practices@mitre.org
We encourage coalition members to share this information with their relevant networks.

 COLLABORATION AND COORDINATION TO SAVE LIVES
Mitigating the worst effects of the coronavirus pandemic requires bold, fast action. The COVID-19 Healthcare Coalition is a private-sector led response that brings together healthcare organizations, technology firms, nonprofits, academia, and startups to preserve the healthcare delivery system and help protect U.S. populations. Together, we’re coordinating our collective expertise, capabilities, data and insights to provide data-driven, real-time insights to improve clinical outcomes.
With top experts and industry leaders sharing plans and resources – and working collaboratively – we can deploy resources more effectively and offer better situational awareness to those at the front lines.

REAL-TIME, SCALABLE IMPACT TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES We are organizing around the most immediate, near-term challenges confronting healthcare delivery systems by working to:

• Improve clinical care outcomes from real-time, data-driven learning from patient data
  
• Stabilize healthcare systems during extreme demand by accelerating telehealth, home care, and alternative options to reduce load at hospitals
  
• Support an affordable and scalable supply chain for supplies and equipment
• Inform and advocate for coordinated social policies based on data-driven insights
