The planner also allows hospital management to calculate the number of additional staff members required to fully operationalise additional beds, including if upskilling and reskilling workers and deploying newly qualified and final year medical students are required.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Dr Katharina Hauck, Deputy Director of the Jameel Institute, who led the work, said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cSome countries are facing a surge in patients requiring urgent life-saving care. The J-IDEA pandemic hospital planner gives practical support to decision makers in preparing hospitals for this difficult task, so they can hopefully save as many lives as possible with the given resources.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The planner is publicly available for health services around the world, and is interactive and adaptable to different and changing circumstances and newly emerging evidence. Hospital managers can access the tool via the Jameel Institute <a
