Definitive Healthcare has been donating its data to branches of the government, universities and organizations to drive publicly accessible solutions as fast as possible to the market.
Most recently, Definitive Healthcare developed a COVID-19 capacity predictor map, a free dashboard that indicates to government and healthcare leaders where, and when, crucial resources like ICU hospital beds and mechanical ventilators should be deployed. The company also partnered with one of its long-term clients, Esri, to develop an interactive mapped data service to enable analysis, visualization and tracking of U.S. hospital bed capacity, and potential areas of geographic risk, during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Definitive Healthcare is providing its ICU bed data to a consulting firm that is helping the Department of Defense deploy the Army Corp of Engineers to build and staff hospitals across the United States based on a combination of need — projected infections — and supply of existing beds. The company has also been working with GraphiteRx to develop a website to help hospitals obtain emergency supplies from alternative sources, such as foreign medical suppliers, domestic non-medical manufacturers and other large organizations.
Definitive Healthcare turned toward supporting virtual opportunities for employees. The company is working with its partners that focus on eldercare and education to support them remotely. The company is also sharing additional options for virtual volunteering with its employees, including making masks for healthcare workers and creating activity care packages for students or adults who are currently homebound.
