Policy lessons from COVID-19

wish admin — Fri, 21 Jan 2022 12:11:03 +0000

The COVID-19 pandemic has made clear the pivotal importance of access to multidimensional, high-resolution data in near real-time to inform and enable evidencebased policy, public health and clinical decisions on how to effectively respond to various stages of the pandemic. Different data sources are particularly useful at various stages of a pandemic: initially they can help to identify and confirm the emergence of an infection with pandemic potential, understand its epidemiology, inform deliberations on risk stratification, and make decisions about travel; and later data can enable assessments of the uptake, safety and effectiveness of nonpharmacological interventions, vaccines and therapeutics, help us understand the impacts on health system functioning, and to inform deliberations on when a pandemic can be declared over.

The pandemic has wreaked havoc on a global scale. Health systems have been inundated with COVID-19 patients; routine and elective care has been interrupted and postponed; and the healthcare workforce has been left overwhelmed and burned out. As we move beyond the COVID-19 pandemic, it is imperative that we acknowledge the health system vulnerabilities exposed during this crisis and ensure that we address these weaknesses to prepare for future pandemics and shocks.
