As COVID-19 infections surge across the United States, 11 states could find themselves with too few doctors to treat non-COVID patients in intensive care units, a new report finds.
New beds can be set up in other hospital units, or even outside the hospital setting, but ICU staffing is relatively finite, they explained.
Hospitalizations in six states aren't expected to peak until early November. The researchers said these states are most at risk of shortages and should consider workforce planning. The states are Idaho, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah and Washington.SOURCE: George Washington University, news release, July 27, 2020
