zh-cn	问：疫情暴发高峰期，武汉定点医院为什么没再发生资源挤兑？
en-us	Q: Why were the designated hospitals in Wuhan not overwhelmed at the peak of the outbreak?

zh-cn	答：疫情初期，随着病例数直线上升，武汉医疗机构尤其是定点医院一度发生较为严重的资源挤兑，为避免医疗系统崩溃，武汉对定点医院及时作出战略部署和调整。
en-us	A: At the beginning of the epidemic, as the number of COVID-19 cases skyrocketed, medical institutions, especially the designated hospitals in Wuhan, were overwhelmed due to limited healthcare resources. Facing such situation, strategic deployments and adjustments were timely made to the designated hospitals to prevent the collapse of the medical system.

zh-cn	第一，不断扩容，增加院区数和床位数。
en-us	First, more hospitals and beds were made available.

zh-cn	通过新建火神山和雷神山两家医院、多批次征用、灵活改建等方式，定点医院从最早仅金银潭医院1家增加至55家，床位扩容到24387张，相当于武汉市医院总体床位的近三分之一。
en-us	Thanks to the construction of the Huoshenshan Hospital and the Leishenshan Hospital, as well as a series of requisitions and flexible transformation of other hospitals, the number of designated hospitals increased from only one, the Jinyintan Hospital, to 55 . The beds expanded to 24,387, accounting for nearly one-third of the total in Wuhan’s hospitals.

zh-cn	第二，精准定位，只接收重症患者。
en-us	Second, only COVID-19 patients in severe condition were admitted to hospitals through precise identification.

zh-cn	为分散床位压力，提高医疗资源使用效率，定点医院的职能定位不断明晰，2月5日起，定点医院原则上只收确诊重症、危重症和疑似危重症病人，为实现“应收尽收”目标打下坚实基础。
en-us	In order to assuage hospital bed shortage and improve the efficiency of medical resources, the designated hospitals updated their functions continuously. Starting from February 5, the designated hospitals only admitted patients who suffered from severe or critical symptoms and critically ill suspected cases. By doing so, these hospitals were well-positioned to achieve the goal of “accepting as many patients as they should be”.

zh-cn	第三，协同“作战”，重症收治需求得到控制。
en-us	Third, the demand for treatment of critically ill patients fell through a “coordinated war” on the virus.

zh-cn	方舱医院及时救治了大量轻症病例，减少了转为重症的可能，尤其通过中西医结合治疗，普通患者的转重率显著降低（降至2%-5%左右），此外，“封城”和居家隔离等手段有效防止了病毒扩散，定点医院收治压力得到极大纾解。
en-us	The makeshift hospitals timely treated a large number of mild cases and reduced the possibility of these cases developing into severe ones. It is worth mentioning that combined traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment played an important role in this regard, the rate of patients with mild symptoms turning severely unwell dropped sharply to about 2%-5% . In addition, measures such as lockdown of cities and home quarantine effectively curbed the spread of the virus, greatly easing the pressure on the designated hospitals.

zh-cn	第四，八方来援，解决了医护人员短缺问题。
en-us	Fourth, the shortage of health professionals was addressed thanks to nationwide assistance.

zh-cn	来自全国4万多名的援鄂医护人员云集湖北省和武汉市，包括顶尖的呼吸、感染、重症医生（重症医务人员1.1万名，占全国比重近10%），加之本地医院其他科室的全员支持，白衣天使在危难时刻充分展现英勇的“逆行”精神，为应对紧急情况提供了强大的后援支撑。
en-us	More than 40,000 doctors and nurses, including top professionals in respiratory, infection, and ICU (11,000 ICU doctors, accounting for nearly 10% of the national total ), surged to join the medical teams in local hospitals in Wuhan and other places in Hubei. Affectionately known as “angels in white”, medical workers with strong work ethics rushed to the frontline bravely and provided tremendous support for emergency response.

zh-cn	第五，医护人员防护到位，感染减员情况没再发生。
en-us	Fifth, infection of medical staff is controlled because of adequate protection.

zh-cn	定点医院通过科学改造基础设施、严密制定防护程序、优先调配物资用品、优化排班流程等措施，最大限度降低了医护人员的感染风险，避免了聚集性发病和超级传播者的产生。
en-us	The designated hospitals minimized the risk of infection among medical workers and prevented cluster of cases and super spreaders through scientific transformation of infrastructure, strict formulation of protection protocols, priority allocation of supplies and materials, and optimization of the work scheduling process.

zh-cn	由此，武汉有效地疏导了影响救治的“堰塞湖”，在疫情暴发高峰期，定点医院资源挤兑问题没再发生。
en-us	As a result, Wuhan effectively removed the sticking points that would affect treatment. The overloaded situation of designated hospitals did not occur any more at the apex of the outbreak.
