Adaptt Surge Planning Support Tool

The Adaptt Surge Planning Support Tool is an Excel-based graphical tool intended for policy-makers and senior planners. It allows Member States to focus on surge planning information, such as:

  • the number of beds required – total, moderate, severe and critical (including renal replacement therapy and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation);
  • the dates of predicted bed shortages; and
  • the detailed human resources needed.

The tool is flexible, enabling users within Member States to input epidemiological data, vary mitigation scenarios (when using the embedded standardized infection ratio V3 data) and tailor the tool to account for attack rates. The tool supports the input of hospital activities and practices, hospital capacity, and human resources for health capacity.

The Adaptt and HWFE tools are complementary to the COVID-19 ESFT.  All tools use the same base clinical attack rate ranges and classify health workforce using ILO ISCO codes, but their outputs are intentionally different due to their primary focus.
