Snippet: Overall, the model developed in this paper can be used as a planning tool/framework by state and federal agencies in acquiring and allocating ventilators to meet national demand. The results reported in this paper can also provide a guide to states in planning for their ventilator needs. We, however, emphasize that these results are based on certain modeling assumptions.

Document: Overall, the model developed in this paper can be used as a planning tool/framework by state and federal agencies in acquiring and allocating ventilators to meet national demand. The results reported in this paper can also provide a guide to states in planning for their ventilator needs. We, however, emphasize that these results are based on certain modeling assumptions. This include the process of demand forecast scenario generation, estimates of initial ventilator inventory, and future production quantities. Each one of these, as well as other model parameters, can be changed in the model input to obtain more refined results. Nevertheless, an important finding is that a state's willingness to share its idle inventory can help address overall shortfall.
