Considerations in healthcare epidemic-outbreak management metrics
Are healthcare sector workers sufficiently trained? Are they suitably numbered for the load they are expected to handle?
A review of past and present healthcare worker reactions on social media suggests we have overlooked or underestimated or perhaps not even included the right gauge of analysis.
Emergency management systems in healthcare institutions need improvement:
The idea behind establishing an Emergency Management System in healthcare institutes is to prevent and control emergencies effectively, as well as to reduce the negative impact of the emergency on the healthcare workers.
Its design will generally have four stages:
Risk assessment regularly. Will analyze the requirement of medical equipment in the case of any emergency.
incident response to initial plans for an emergency.
capacity recovery carries out work like cleaning the environment.
adjustment and improvement-Review all phases and carry out adjustments and improvement work.
Healthcare workers in emergency EMR have been visibly overwhelmed throughout the pandemic.
The budget allocated to protect healthcare professionals and patients in emergencies was found to be in desperate need to make the patient care sufficient and also to spare healthworkers the mental and physical exhaustion that can lead to serious team decision-making risks.
And so, there is no doubt that coronavirus outbreaks have taught us that healthcare institutions need to treat their staff and patients in emergencies with much more support tools and resources, including financial compensation for the families of workers who are also affected.
A sustainable supply chain program should be established.
During the 2020 outbreak, many hospitals faced shortage of adequate medical supplies. Public hospitals are referred to as medical institutions for epidemic disease control and one of the primary concerns was contamination. If hospitals themselves face a shortage of medical supplies and have no capacity to treat incoming patients, they lose the definition of their institutional premise and validity to respond as society expects. It is therefore imperative that a maximum of sustainability decision-making priorities be established for hospital supply chain and related programmes.
Enhancing the development of telemedicine and wearable devices
Medical institutes which offer online diagnostic consultations due to the pandemic have been extremely helpful. This has relieved pressure on medical services who were checking patients physically on-site. The online medical facility is however still in the early stages of development and some emphasise that it should be enhanced after outbreaks have stopped, accordingly. Wearable devices are available for people with chronic diseases such as for therapeutic intervention but, there are concerns that more research is needed to ensure safety optogenetically to patients who suffer psychiatric related disorders.
A comprehensive health management system for business.
The spread of COVID-19 is still intense. It has led to economic lay-offs as many companies and officers are forced to cut back on business budgets and close their shops or offices.
For this reason, De 7 Provinciën(™) Corporate Compliance Certification offers an ideal analysis to prevent virus attracting sources and therby ensure environments that are stable and sustainable for re-opening businesses.
Build a national health data platform:
Updating records of the number of patients and number of deaths on a real-time basis have been challenging. It was reportedly difficult for the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to get health data of any person admitted to hospital and those who were infected and afraid to seek help.
A national health platform that successfully interconnects all information sources will require mobility where medical experts can quickly approach, diagnose and treat patients and mainstream the data to a national or federal observatory.
We believe that everyone should have a pandemic-free(™) life and we look forward to providing De 7 Provinciën(™) Corporate Compliance Certifications to support this, globally.
