As healthcare systems continue to struggle to deal with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and plan for an uncertain future, sweeping changes have occurred across the healthcare continuum. From triage strategies to specific patient care protocols, hospitals have adjusted multiple processes to deal with the immediate challenges posed by an influx of patients, while preparing for the “new normal” that lies ahead.
This second installment of our COVID-19 webinar series will focus on the experiences and lessons learned from the perspective of a Houston, Texas emergency department physician. At the conclusion of the presentation, participants will gain a better understanding of emergency department triage strategies, treatment protocols, staff and patient safety recommendations, lab testing processes, and key steps facilities should take to prepare for a potential second-wave of increased patient volume as we head into a flu season of unknown severity.
