RETURN-TO-WORK STRATEGY GUIDANCE FROM IHME’S EXPERTS

IHME is now working with industries including finance, food and agriculture, and aerospace to provide expert, independent data-driven guidance for their COVID-19 preparations and response over the next 18-24 months.
​

IHME COVID-19 Projections:

• Provide a data-driven model that has been the most accurate predictor of the impact of different policy measures, including social distancing globally.
• The model is iteratively re-run, incorporating new and better data as they become available and advancing the methodology as we learn more about the virus.
• Incorporate new elements as data are available to better account for real-time changes in the pandemic.
  • Population mobility
  • % of population living in high density areas
  • Effectiveness of masks
  • Seasonality
  • Testing per capita

 
IHME’s approach to modeling sets the foundation for expert guidance on back-to-work plans and ongoing strategies to contain the pandemic.

• Engaging with global clients and consumers;

Interacting within international contexts.

Develop attestation and survey program to maintain the health of employees and the communities in which they live or operate by:

providing insights that allow decision-makers to stay informed about workforce health as they consider and adjust back to work strategies.
