Medical Strategic PlanningProfessional Information Transforming North American Healthcare Markets™ TM
A Brave New World for Which The U.S. Is Not Yet Prepared
There is a critical need of valid & reliable healthcare information

NJ’s Influenza Pandemic Plan…
•States “facility may need to request additional (ventilators) from new sources… make arrangements in advance.”
•NJ, using FluSurge software, will determine number of ventilators available based on flawed “one ventilator per ICU bed” ratio.

The FluSurge Software Assumptions…
•Are inaccurate & therefore dangerous
•Based on invalid assumptions
•Incorrectly equates “gas machines” with ventilators

MSP Ventilator Study•MSP has launched a nationwide ventilator study to collect accurate and comprehensive data on the installed base of ventilators.
•Ventilators deployed by clinical location, type of facility, location, supplier.
•Data will be useful for validating or revising flu surge capacity plans.
5
Provider Ventilator Network List
•Research captures the degree of preparedness of all facilities participating in the survey.
•Identifies NEMA contacts for EMACs
•Participating facilities may opt to be on or off of the Emergency Contact list.
•Identifies primary and secondary ventilator suppliers for each provider.
•Identifies ventilator Service Quality information for primary and secondary vendors.
