COVID-19 "Second Wave" Forecast

Wednesday, July 15 | 4:00 to 5:15 pm ET | Register for Think Tank

Health System 100 Intelligence Group, with a panel of leading epidemiologists and healthcare experts, will present a freshly updated forecast of the Coronavirus and its potential impact on the U.S. healthcare system. Multiple sectors will be on the call – skilled nursing, health systems, home care and senior living.

• Will we see a pronounced second wave or multiple waves?

• Are alternating waves likely or a “steady burn”?

• Have we learned effective public health tools other than lockdowns?

• What is our daily death rate likely to be on September 1? January 1?

We will also “game out” the healthcare impacts of a serious second wave:

• Will consumers again massively postpone hospital elective surgeries?

• Can providers mitigate patient anxiety through proactive messaging?

• Are providers still at big infection control risk with another wave?

• What can providers do now to better master infection control?

• How do you best “contingency plan” with a major COVID risk still present this fall/winter?

• How likely is the US to do versus other countries over the 12 months?

• Is testing and contact tracing still part of the public health response?
• Will we see big variability in states’ ability to control COVID?
