The Big Picture Using the Nevada Hospital Association’s Burn Watch Board to Understand Capacity

Tracking the number of hospital beds available at any given time is a daunting task, and burn beds are no exception. ASPR TRACIE met with Dr. Christopher Lake, who has worked at the Nevada Hospital Association for more than a decade, developing programs that can help healthcare facilities better prepare for and respond to disasters. He provided a tour of the Burn Watch Board—launched just prior to the wildfires that devastated Maui and now used by more than 350 users per day—describing its features and future for an article in Issue 20 of the ASPR TRACIE Exchange.
