2022 Stronger - PH344 - Shifting from Crisis to Control: Strategies for Life with COVID-19 - On Demand

After two years of living with the challenges of COVID-19, health systems must adopt proactive, data-driven strategies to life with COVID-19. UC San Diego Health established a strategic approach to our new normal that uses rapid, risk-based data on wastewater viral loads, county cases and ED percentage of influenza-like Illness to outline tier thresholds. These thresholds proactively trigger systemwide responses for the safety of our patients, workforce, university students and community. These evidence-based guidelines drive the strategic plan that shifted our organization to a proactive, comprehensive and controlled response position to COVID-19 and other respiratory viral outbreaks.

Target Audience

  • Physicians
  • Other Healthcare Professionals

Learning Objectives
