Managing a Health Care Crisis

Scenario
The situation at the regional Good Health Hospital has become overwhelming since the outbreak of COVID-19. It appears that there are 15 cases of the disease with more cases each day.
To better understand the situation, the hospital has been in constant communication with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
After a meeting yesterday with the chief administrator, Joe Wellborn, it has been decided that a more detailed process must be created to manage the situation.
Research has indicated that hospitals operating in the Tampa Bay area are also filling to capacity with COVID-19 patients. This substantiates the need for further communication and collaboration with the county and state health departments.
As a health care manager, it is your job to both manage the situation and make a detailed record of the circumstances and your process in a report from an epidemiological management perspective.
