Abstract

The aim of this paper is to highlight complications surrounding the worldwide epidemic and to provide several scripts for surviving it. The scope of this paper is to provide insights into five-dimensional survival strategies: (1) expediting, (2) product substitution, (3) conservation, (4) reconditioning and (5) innovation. Relying on all five of these strategies will increase the probability that there will be something in the clinician’s hands while caring for patients. In addition to these strategies, using a cross-functional, coordinated, daily huddle to facilitate communication and share a personal protective equipment (PPE)/Commodities dashboard will prove to build resiliency during a long-term crisis.
