A community's ability to cope with mass casualty incidents is very dependent on the capacity and capability of its hospitals for handling a sudden surge of patients requiring resource-intensive and specialized needs. In a recent paper published by the Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness journal, authors Mersedeh TariVerdi, Elise Miller-Hooks from George Mason University, and Thomas Kirsch, from National Center for Disaster Medicine and Public Health, presented a whole-hospital simulation model to replicate medical staff, resources and space to investigate hospital responsiveness to MCIs.

STAT (commentary)
The FDA’s announcement last week that it approved artificial intelligence software that can identify diabetic retinopathy, a common eye disease, without the need for an eye specialist likely shook some doctors already concerned about this new technology. Artificial intelligence, sometimes called AI, is not a dramatic and revolutionary development in the history of medicine. It’s but the latest in a long line of breakthroughs that have made it possible for caregivers to better diagnose and treat illness.

Artificial intelligence is already improving many aspects of our lives, including how we drive, how we socialize and what we buy. It also has the potential to transform healthcare in variety of ways, but the biggest impact may surprise you. It would be overly simplistic to say there’s only one way that AI and related technologies, like deep learning and streaming analytics, will be used in healthcare.

Washington, Pennsylvania, is much like other small rural towns in the United States. Founded in 1768, it sits on just 3.3 square miles of land in greater Appalachia. Its population has dwindled since the 1960s, and like the town itself, most of its residents are financially strapped.

If they require serious attention from a physician or specialist, many find themselves speeding up the freeway on the 30-mile sojourn northward to Pittsburgh.

“Massachusetts is really leading the way on this. It led the way on universal health care, on gay marriage, and it’s leading the way on this, too,” said Dr. Atul Gawande, a surgeon at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and author of the book “Being Mortal.”
