Nurse Disrupted: Virtual COVID-19 Screening for Homeless Populations
Wednesday September 9, 2020, 12 noon Eastern/11 am Central
ANIA Midwest will be hosting an educational webinar presented by Bre Loughlin, MS, RN and Tracy Zvenyach, PhD, APRN-NP. Learn how a Madison-based nursing technology solutions company deployed tablets, virtual meeting platforms, and electronic forms to provide video COVID-19 screening for homeless shelters. Nurse Disrupted is massive compassion through simple technology. Imagine living in these recent difficult pandemic times without a home or proper healthcare. Homeless shelter populations experience limited access to healthcare in regular times, and a pandemic situation worsens their conditions. Through the Virtual Volunteer program, trained nurses screen for COVID-19, maintain protocol, and provide education on safe practices. The virtual connection also provides a human connection in unusual times of isolation and separation.
Learning objectives include:
1. Learn about technology needed to deploy a virtual screening with miniumum budget and resources
2. Understand how a clinical decision support tool was created from a simple electronic form
3. Understand challenges of applying health technology with a volunteer workforce
4. Discuss tech literacy and the role of compassion in health information technology
