- Setting up hospital care provision to patients with COVID-19: lessons learnt at a 2400-bed academic tertiary center in SAo Paulo, Brazil(2020) PERONDI, Beatriz; MIETHKE-MORAIS, Anna; MONTAL, Amanda C.; HARIMA, Leila; SEGURADO, Aluisio C.As of August 30, 2020, Brazil ranked second among countries with the highest number of COVID-19 cases, with the city of SAo Paulo as the national epidemic epicenter. Local public healthcare institutions were challenged to respond to a fast-growing hospital demand, reengineering care provision to optimize clinical outcomes and minimize intra-hospital coronavirus infection. In this paper we describe how the largest public hospital complex in Latin America faced this unprecedented burden, managing severe COVID-19 cases while sustaining specialized care to patients with other conditions. In our strategic plan a 900 bed hospital was exclusively designated for COVID-19 care and continuity of care to those not infected with coronavirus ensured in other inpatient facilities. After 152 days, 4241 patients with severe COVID-19 were hospitalized, 70% of whom have already been discharged, whereas the remaining Institutes of the complex successfully maintained high complexity inpatient and urgent/emergency care to non-COVID-19 patients.
