COVID-19 Use Case Mapping and Real-Time Management of Ventilators simplycast.com | info@simplycast.com | 866-323-6572 ext. 1
Introduction This use case is designed to help with the management of the ventilator units available to emergency management staff. Through SimplyCast’s Blueprints and Mapping technology, ventilators are able to be registered, tracked and managed throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Information can be shared across multiple accounts in the network so that all stakeholders are able to see whether a particular unit is not only available, but operational.
COVID-19 Ventilator Mapping and Statuses
Ventilator Registration Multiple health agencies have access to various ventilator units within their respective facilities. All ventilator information should be registered and stored in a central location so emergency managers are able to access all the information they need at a moment’s notice.
Template Creation A blueprint template can be created in the SimplyCast system with all the required information that needs to be provided for each individual ventilator. Ensure there is both a Location and a Status field included in the template so that emergency managers and/or ventilator owners are able to view, update, and manage the location, status, and usage of each unit.
Data Input Once the blueprint template is created, emergency managers need to gather and create records for each ventilator unit. Records can be bulk uploaded to the system via Excel spreadsheet. Each health agency with access to the blueprint template can upload their own spreadsheet.
Map Display After each health agency has uploaded their spreadsheet of ventilator units they control, emergency managers can view the status and location of all records on the SimplyCast Map.
Status Updates Whenever a ventilator gets assigned to a patient or otherwise becomes unavailable (malfunctioning, etc.) the emergency manager or unit owner is able to update the status of the unit on the Map, which will change the color/shape of the icon that appears.
Data Sharing Ventilator record information can also be shared with others using the SimplyCast system – either with entire healthcare agencies or with specific users within those agencies depending on the need. Sharing can be revoked as well.
Display Reports Additionally, reports for ventilator statuses can be displayed on a Command Hub dashboard to enhance the common operating picture. Reports can be filtered to show only ventilators that are currently assigned, any that require maintenance, and/or ventilators that are available to be assigned. Emergency managers can update the status of ventilators from Command Hub, which will correspondingly change the information appearing on the SimplyCast Map.
