administrators and public health officials estimates of the
surge in demand for hospital-based services during the next
influenza pandemic. FluSurge estimates the number of hospitalizations
and deaths of an influenza pandemic (whose length and virulence
are determined by the user) and compares the number of persons
hospitalized, the number of persons requiring ICU care, and
the number of persons requiring ventilator support during
a pandemic with existing hospital capacity.
