GESICA: GESTION DES SITUATIONS DE CRISES SANITAIRES

Description

Context:

Risks and threats have evolved in recentyears, changing in nature and form: terroristthreats, emerging infectious and epidemicrisks, climatic crises... The risk of simultaneousor successive crises is a reality. Moreover, thefragility of healthcare systems and organizations in the face of such situations has reinforced the need for upstream anticipation and preparation, in order to limit the impact on the healthcare system, and on routine care in particular. The organization of healthcaresystems around exceptional health situations (EHS) must take into account all the risks thatthese systems may face.

Objectives

The GESICA project aims to design and develop an intelligent system dedicated to EHS. This system will be capable not only of aggregating heterogeneous data from a varietyof sources to detect and analyze weak signalsof an EHS and issue early warning, but also of proposing management scenarios and optimizing resources.

Added Value

The project will contribute to more effective care and reduced healthcare costs throughnetworking and collaboration between researchplayers and the pooling of their knowledge. Cross-border cooperation between public health authorities will be strengthened throughthe identification of challenges and obstacles in the management of EHS and the optimizationof action plans. Ultimately, this project willenable the Franco-Swiss territory to position itself as a center of excellence in public healthin situations linked to epidemics or climatechange, such as heatwaves.

Expected results

The GESICA intelligent system will propose ical management plans for this EHS at differentscales : local, regional and cross-border  specific to the Interreg France-Switzerlandarea. It will be possible to propose scenarios for the retroactive management of this EHS, and to compare them with those proposed by the health authorities, in order to highlight the gains in time and quality in terms of optimizingresources and providing care. Finally, the GESICA system will be extended to anotherclass of EHS, focusing on weak signals and proposing extremely precise management scenarios.
