BACKGROUND: Washington State experienced the first major outbreak of COVID-19 in
the US and despite a significant number of cases, has seen a relatively low death
rate per million population compared with other states with major outbreaks, and
has seen a substantial decrease in the projections for healthcare use, that is,
"flattening the curve." This consensus report seeks to identify the key factors
contributing to the effective health system disaster response in western WA.
METHODS: A multidisciplinary, expert panel including individuals and
organizations who were integral to managing the public health and emergency
healthcare system response were engaged in a consensus process to identify the
key themes and lessons learned and develop recommendations for ongoing management
of the COVID-19 pandemic. RESULTS: Six key themes were identified, including
early communication and coordination among stakeholders; regional coordination of
the healthcare system response; rapid development and access to viral testing;
proactive management of long-term care and skilled nursing facilities; proactive
management of vulnerable populations; and effective physical distancing in the
community. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the lessons learned in each of the areas
identified by the panel, 11 recommendations are provided to support the
healthcare system disaster response in managing future outbreaks.
