Patient Tracking to Reduce Global Contagion Transmission in 2020

Patient Tracking could help reduce global contagion transmission in 2020.

As of today, the COVID-19 virus has infected at least 4.44 million people around the world. Of these, at least 1.59 million have recovered. Sadly, this virus has also potentially caused 302,000 deaths. This virus was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020.

This has become problematic for medically compromised patients, including the elderly that are in hospital or require emergency treatment or outpatient medical treatment. It will also impact the elderly in long term care and skilled nursing facilities along with senior living communities. This doesn't only increase the risk of the elderly, but also increases the risk of the staff that work in these particular environments.

Twenty-two deaths were confirmed at a senior living facility in Washington state. It is possible that if this community had been relying on patient tracking with location technology and contagion heat mapping, they would have been able to track residents, visitors and staff. By creating heat maps of the contagion, they would have been able to provide a proactive containment solution.

China estimated that the mortality rate among their residents over the age of eighty was fifteen percent. CDC has also advised that seniors with underlying conditions are at a higher risk. Underlying conditions include diabetes, heart disease, lung disease and kidney disease.

The CDC has introduced best practices for medical and care facilities and with Quake technology, we are able to assist clients with their containment with effective isolation within selected health care areas. This solution can be used by skilled nursing, long term care, senior living and hospitals with confidence.

Paula Dycalco, the Director of Marketing at Quake Global, said “The best practices introduced by CDC include tracing. This requires effective documentation of patients and staff and it can assist with providing valuable insight into a contagion. Asymptomatic patients, staff and residents who become symptomatic can be traced. Using our technology to trace patients, staff and visitors, facilities can take the next step, which includes containment and mitigation.”

Quake Global remains a leading choice for patient tracing through their effective tracking solutions, which include RFID (radio frequency identification). Full details on the company and their quality solutions can be found on their information packed website.
