Integrated Swallowing, Nutrition and Medication Management in Care Homes using Telehealth
Pressures from the pandemic have increased waiting times and highlighted the disjointed community services, particularly for vulnerable care home residents significantly affected by Covid-19 (Nawaz and Tulunay-Ugur, 2018). Currently, nearly half a million people live in care homes in the UK. Up to 50% of these residents suffer from swallowing difficulties that can potentially exacerbate symptoms of malnutrition, dehydration, aspiration pneumonia,…
The Utility of an Online Forward Triage Tool During the Sars-CoV-2 Pandemic
Introduction: The SARS CoV-2 pandemic poses major challenges not only to patients but also to health care professionals and policy-makers, with rapidly changing, sometimes complex, recommendations, and guidelines to the population. Online forward triage tools (OFTT) got a major boost from the pandemic as they helped with the implementation and monitoring of recommendations. Methods: A multiphase mixed method sequential explanatory study design wa…
Public health communication
Background: The pandemic has made public health communication even more daunting because acceptance and implementation of official guidelines and recommendations hinge on this. The situation becomes even more precarious when children are involved. Our child-specific COVID-19 online forward triage tool (OFTT) revealed some of the public health communication challenges. We aimed to explore attitudes, experiences, and challenges faced by OFTT users …
The Utility of a Pediatric Covid-19 Online Forward Triage Tool in Switzerland
Background: To offset the burden on the health system, hospitals set up telehealth interventions, such as online forward triage tools (OFTT). The website www.coronabambini.ch was developed to specifically address the needs of children and their families in Switzerland and to facilitate the decision to test, isolate, attend school, or access the health care system. Methods: = 20) from a population of parents, teachers, guardians, as well as doctor…
A Utility Framework for Covid-19 Online Forward Triage Tools
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic caused a surge in online tools commonly known as symptom checkers. The purpose of these symptom checkers was mostly to reduce the health system burden by providing worried people with testing criteria, where to test and how to self-care. Technical, usability and organizational challenges with regard to online forward triage tools have also been reported. Very few of these online forward triage tools have been evaluated. Ev…
What does a pandemic proof health system look like
Switzerland is currently in a lockdown and other lockdowns are looming world-wide. Many countries in the West are now experiencing a third COVID-19 wave. While some scientists are aiming for Zero Covid, calls to learn to live with the virus are becoming prominent as anti-lockdown protests spread across Europe. A health system is defined as all organizations, institutions and resources that produce actions whose primary purpose is to improve healt…
What is the optimal length of an Online Forward Triage Tool? The need for a framework
Predictors of High Resource Consumption in Alcohol Intoxicated Patients in the Emergency Department
Background: previous studies have reported that the incidence of alcohol-related visits to emergency departments (ED) has increased, but little is known about how the necessary resources per visit have changed, or about the predictors and reasons for resource consumption. Methods: a retrospective analysis was performed of all consultations with a primary or secondary diagnosis of acute alcohol intoxication admitted to the ED of Bern University Ho…
