Primes

• Correlated Capacity Demand
  • In healthcare, ICU capacity sized for independent admission peaks is overwhelmed when a pandemic wave, a heatwave, and a high-trauma weekend correlate, because the stress conditions couple admission types that are normally independent.

    This sourceDocuments that disaster and pandemic conditions drive correlated surges that overwhelm ICU/critical-care capacity sized for normal independent demand, forcing crisis standards of care and rationing. (Resolves needs-source-826; supports ICU capacity overwhelmed when stressors correlate normally-independent admissions.)
