RedCap (Reduced Capacity)

RedCap (Reduced Capacity) refers to a healthcare or operational situation where an individual or facility has limited resources, space, or staff to handle usual demands. This often occurs during emergencies or high-demand periods, leading to slower processes, prioritized services, or temporary restrictions in services. It is a way to manage and allocate available capacity efficiently, ensuring critical needs are addressed while acknowledging limitations. Essentially, RedCap indicates a scaled-down operation readiness, emphasizing the importance of resource management under constrained circumstances.
