How Does the Healthcare System Work During Outbreaks?: Crash Course Outbreak Science #7
Day to day, hospitals provide all kinds of services to help us get better and stay healthy, but during an outbreak, hospitals are the front line of the emergency. In this episode of Crash Course Outbreak Science, we’ll look at how hospitals and other healthcare facilities adapt in the face of an outbreak, from resource needs to the roles of healthcare workers and costs.
This episode of Crash Course Outbreak Science was produced by Complexly in partnership with Operation Outbreak and the Sabeti Lab at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard—with generous support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.
