Capacity can be increased through several methods during an outbreak:
Flexibility in Resource Allocation: Resources should be redirected to areas with the greatest need. This may include shifting medical staff and equipment to regions experiencing higher infection rates. Surge Capacity: Creating additional temporary healthcare facilities, such as field hospitals, can increase capacity quickly. Telemedicine: Implementing telemedicine solutions can help reduce the burden on physical healthcare facilities. Training and Mobilization: Rapid training and deployment of additional healthcare workers can help meet increased demand.
