Healthcare facility network outbreak simulator
Provides flexible framework for agent-based simulation of outbreaks among in-patients in a generic-but-realistic network of short/long-stay hospitals and nursing homes, as well as interventions to mitigate transmission and inter-facility spread. Scenarios(s) Modeled: Initial invasion of new pathogen / strain and/or endemic pathogens. Intervention scenarios for patient-targeted efforts including surveillance and isolation (contact precautions), vaccination, and…
Healthcare facility transmission and intervention modeling tool
1- Estimate the extent of patient-to-patient transmission and other quantities using admission prevalence and cross-sectional point-prevalence data for carriage of organisms among healthcare facility in-patients. Parameter estimated: Patient-to-patient transmission rate, facility reproduction number, rate of progression to infection, intervention effects if applicable. Estimates derived via solving differential equations at equilibrium and facility reproduction number equations.…
