Healthcare providers from across the country are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eusWgSi51mo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">being deployed to Ontario ICUs<\/a> and the province recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestar.com\/politics\/provincial\/2021\/04\/26\/ontario-appeals-to-ottawa-for-military-help-as-hospitals-fill-with-covid-19-patients.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">called on the Red Cross for help<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the extra help is welcome and needed, how do we equip outside workers \u2014 experts in other fields like pediatrics or cardiology \u2014 to best care for COVID-19 patients? It&#8217;s a vital aspect of the pandemic response that shouldn\u2019t be overlooked.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re working behind the scenes to keep frontline workers up-to-date with the latest best practices. Think Research\u2019s research and development team is urgently deploying digital COVID-19 tools across hospital systems to help deliver care in a standardized way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In practice, this means frontline workers assessing COVID-19 patients have the latest evidence-based information on the disease at their fingertips. Our COVID-19 order sets act like digital checklists, guiding clinicians through a set of questions and treatment options based on a patient\u2019s condition. Our decision support tools bring the world\u2019s best medical knowledge on the disease into local hospital systems so that everyone is on the same page when it comes to care. This is crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK525279\/#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Research shows<\/a> that standardized care in acute settings improves patient outcomes. When clinicians are stretched thin and ICUs are at capacity, standardization also reduces errors and cuts health spending waste. Put simply, it improves healthcare for everyone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because our understanding of COVID-19 and how to treat it is constantly evolving, Think\u2019s team of clinicians regularly update our cloud-based tools based on emerging evidence. In the past year, our tools have been updated 17<strong> <\/strong>times. We\u2019ve also made them available free of charge to our partners. This ensures that healthcare providers, whether they\u2019ve cared for COVID-19 patients for the past year or have been recently deployed to an acute COVID-19 care setting, are all up to speed on the best practices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canada is still dealing with high COVID-19 case counts and hospitalizations. We know more now than we did at the start of the pandemic about fighting this devastating disease, but a unified response is still needed. Ensuring every single frontline worker is armed with the best tools to care for Canadians is vital to pushing through this crisis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For more information visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkresearch.com\/ca\/covid-19-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When ICUs are at capacity, standardization reduces errors and cuts health spending waste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":21016,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[339,522,521,523,363,37],"class_list":["post-21011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-acute-care","tag-covid-order-sets","tag-covid-19-order-sets","tag-covid-19-tools","tag-covid19","tag-order-sets"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.5 -
