The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly evolved into a worldwide pandemic. Preparing intensive care units (ICU) is an integral part of any pandemic response. In this review, we discuss the key principles and strategies for ICU preparedness. We also describe our initial outbreak measures and share some of the challenges faced. To achieve sustainable ICU services, we propose the need to 1) prepare and implement rapid identification and isolation protocols, and a surge in ICU bed capacity; (2) provide a sustainable workforce with a focus on infection control; (3) ensure adequate supplies to equip ICUs and protect healthcare workers; and (4) maintain quality clinical management, as well as effective communication.

The rapid adoption of virtual care and digital technologies and changing consumer sentiment during the COVID-19 crisis may echo throughout hospital business models long after the pandemic scales down. How can hospitals sustain this accelerated transformation toward the future?

The aim of this work is to introduce a new model for intra-hospital routing of patients, considering both client- and management related issues. Patients in a hospital have a fixed appointment, such as x-rays or ultrasonic and due to medical reasons they cannot go on their own, so they will be escorted by porters. In our model logistical costs for the usage of porters and patient inconvenience will be minimized. We show that the different developed model variants are tractable for realistic problem instances of medium-sized hospitals.

Helicobacter cinaedi is an emerging pathogen causing bacteraemia and cellulitis. Nosocomial transmission of this microbe has been described, but detailed molecular-epidemiological analyses have not been performed. Here, we describe the results of a multi-step genome-wide phylogenetic analysis of a suspected intra-hospital outbreak of H. cinaedi that occurred in a hospital in Japan. The outbreak was recognized by the infectious control team (ICT) of the hospital as a sudden increase in H. cinaedi bacteraemia. ICT defined this outbreak case based on 16S rRNA sequence data and epidemiological information, but were unable to determine the source and route of the infections. We therefore re-investigated this case using whole-genome sequencing (WGS). We first performed a species-wide analysis using publicly available genome sequences to understand the level of genomic diversity of this under-studied species. The clusters identified were then separately analysed using the genome sequence of a representative strain in each cluster as a reference. These analyses provided a high-level phylogenetic resolution of each cluster, identified a confident set of outbreak isolates, and discriminated them from other closely related but distinct clones, which were locally circulating and invaded the hospital during the same period. By considering the epidemiological data, possible strain transmission chains were inferred, which highlighted the role of asymptomatic carriers or environmental contamination. The emergence of a subclone with increased resistance to fluoroquinolones in the outbreak was also recognized. Our results demonstrate the impact of the use of a closely related genome as a reference to maximize the power of WGS.
