Like many systems around the nation, Swedish Health Services found itself with overwhelmed with the increasing number of COVID-19 patients. Microsoft and Swedish joined forces over the past two weeks to build an app that helps hospital staff monitor resources for COVID-19-related care. The COVID-19 Emergency Response (CERA) app was released Wednesday, April 1 and syncs with hospital dashboards to help Swedish leaders gauge activity at its five care facilities, two emergency departments, and units in critical areas.
