The Hospital Surge Model now allows users to estimate the resources needed to respond to emergencies involving improvised explosive devices, pneumonic plague and foodborne botulism. The Web-based interactive model now includes a total of 13 scenarios on biological incidents and attacks ranging from pandemic influenza to a nuclear explosion.
Hospital and emergency planners can use the Hospital Surge Model to develop specific strategies to treat an influx of patients affected by these specific incidents. It will estimate, by day, the severity of injury and the number and flow of casualties needing medical attention for specific scenarios selected by users. The tool is available at http://hospitalsurgemodel.org/
