Sumario:The COVID-19 pandemic continues to move at record speed. Health systems and hospitals worldwide face unprecedented challenges to effectively prepare and respond to this extraordinary health crisis and anticipated surge.

We used an innovative "virtual interdisciplinary COVID-19 team" approach to consolidate our hospital readiness.
