Douglas White (UPMC): ICU triaging both on saving most lives and those with longest life expectancy, even based on SOFA scores invariably will bias against patients of color, or lower SES #CCC50 #PedsICU 
White: 4 strategies for ICU triage that promote equity
White: Arizona as an example, some hospitals were overburdened, others had empty beds. Arizona surgeline addressed this to coordinate and facilitate transfer 5000 patient transfer so they didn't need to triage. #CCC50 #PedsICU
White: exclude criteria that would disadvantage already-disadvantaged groups (like long term life expectancy) #CCC50 #PedsICU
White: Give heightened priority to frontline essential workers (not just healthcare workers, all those we need to work) owe them some consideration for putting themselves at risk. #CCC50 #PedsICU
White: how do we put this all together? similar to scoring systems for organ allocation #CCC50 #PedsICU
