?:abstract
  • Singapore\'s hospitals had prepared operations to receive patients (potentially) infected with SARS-CoV-2, planning various scenarios and levels of surge with a policy of isolating all confirmed cases as inpatients. The National University Hospital, adopted a whole of hospital approach to COVID-19 with three primary goals: zero hospital-acquired COVID-19, all patients receive timely necessary care, and maintenance of staff morale. These goals to date have been met. A large influx of COVID-19 cases emerged requiring a significant transformation of clinical and operational processes. Isolation room numbers almost tripled and dedicated COVID-19 cohort wards were established, elective care was postponed and Intensive Care Units were augmented with equipment and manpower. In the wake of the surge establishing a new normal for hospital care requires a considered balance of maintaining vigilance to detect endemic COVID-19, establishing contingency plans to ramp up in case of another surge, while returning to business as usual.
