As COVID-19 began to spread through the United States, public fitness agencies, national laboratories, and fitness care organizations in New Mexico were already developing strategies to stop the spread when it arrived in our state. These collaborators, along with all the new Mexicans who took their recommendation to dress up in face masks, practice social estating and minimize exits, helped New Mexico’s instances remain low when neighboring states experienced difficulties. primary epidemics. These efforts illustrate how vital it is to paint a crisis in combination.
An example is the partnership between the State Government of New Mexico, the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Presbyterian Health Services to perceive the spread of the disease in the state, expand accurate predictions of the disease, estimate the need for the fitness formula, and allocate resources. At a time when both scientists, fitness managers and doctors put the necessary knowledge at the service of our wonderful state.
When initial analyses of Los Alamos PC models predicted a significant increase in instances in northwestern New Mexico, Presbyterians used their own model to identify beds to be available in extensive care sets and non-public protective appliances throughout the state, in partnership with state hospitals and others to establish patient transfers to hospitals capable of treating them.
Computer models have also helped the consulting state make plans to create remote housing, such as hotels, where non-critical COVID-19 patients or those waiting for the effects of control can temporarily live far from the circle of family members. This is vital in New Mexico,, where there are about 32,000 multigenerational homes, and it is a necessity to protect our most vulnerable residents. Since April, between one hundred and three hundred new Mexicans have occupied these amenities every day to help prevent the spread of the disease. in their homes.
Other models of evolved computers in Los Alamos are helping the state in the most productive way to reopen schools. These models read about possible learning scenarios, such as in-person school five days a week, hybrid online/in-person features and online education alone – and assess the threat of higher cases.
Another technique tracks the vulnerability of certain geographic spaces based on points such as poverty, race/ethnicity, age and family size. By identifying the most at-risk communities, the state can better coordinate interventions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 that are community-friendly. such as deploying Presbyterian’s cellular testing team to access testing.
This collaboration also resulted in estimates of the per-person propagation rate of COVID-19 in various regions of New Mexico, which was used to assess the effect of social estating measures. mitigation measures and schooling campaigns aimed at express geographical spaces, as well as whether social estating restrictions in other spaces deserve to be relaxed.
The strength of collaboration is obvious: through the combination of experts from other specialties and other perspectives so that, scientifically grounded and evidence-based, they test decision makers well, our delight in New Mexico is very different from that of many other states.
The collection of #AllTogetherNM was not only for all new Mexicans, but also for fitness organizations, national laboratories and public fitness units. The 3 organizations have their own expert groups and epidemiological models, which tell each other and in the end forecasts. Taking advantage of our other strengths and using clinical knowledge to make informed decisions to help us advise ourselves, we have taken measures opposed to the spread of COVID-19 in our state.
The inhabitants of New Mexico have helped by adhering to collaborative instructions, and we are making progress, but we cannot help it now. We will continue to paint on solid, data-driven instructions, and thank you for making your component as we navigate the pandemic together.
