Zoom isn’t just for meetings anymore

Popular online meeting platforms, such as Zoom, are proving a quick, inexpensive way to communicate new protocols and policies. The influx of patients with COVID-19 to all care settings hospitals, outpatient clinics, long-term care facilities and more means that clinicians, managers and staff everywhere are adapting their approaches to care delivery, many of which will continue to undergo change as circumstances warrant. This video, from a team at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, captures a modified approach to the transfer of a patient from labor and delivery to the operating room for a caesarian delivery when the patient is or is suspected of being COVID positive. Once created, a video can be easily shared with all staff who need to be informed of the new elements to an established workflow.
