Health crises and pandemics may be unpredictable, but their complexity leaves clues our health systems can learn from. Through new technology and AI tools, we can detect these patterns, prepare better, and strengthen our healthcare resilience. So, what does it take to

Communication is the number 1 issue that we see across virtually every after-action report for every kind of disaster. The way to do this better is to drill it, to practice it, & to have a lot of community engagement, noted Jeff Schlegelmilch ow.ly/rCMb50X8KHT Columbia Climate School
