COVID 19

We admire the incredible work of caregivers worldwide. GE HealthCare Command Center helps caregivers with every day patient care as well as crises, like the COVID-19 pandemic.

Oregon's COVID Capacity Center

As Oregon prepared for mounting COVID-19 case numbers and pressure on its hospital systems at the beginning of the pandemic in the US – including medical personnel tasked with making critical care decisions – Oregon's COVID Capacity Center, developed on GE HealthCare technology, actively monitors Real Time hospital data to inform COVID-19 patient intake and care.

The solution, which went live in just 13 days, is extensible outside of Oregon and able to be deployed rapidly to other hospital systems.
