Reduce Contagion with Simple Monitoring Technology in 2020

Monitoring technology provides the edge to reduce contagion in 2020.

Global containment of the COVID-19 virus has become a priority with complete containment very unlikely in the near future. As of right now, there are 35.8 million cases with more than one million deaths on a global scale, affecting over two hundred countries.

The virus has impacted every single person in the world, forcing some to work and stay at home, others to self-isolate after coming into contact with someone with the virus, and others finding themselves in hospital struggling to breathe. As you can imagine, this has caused a serious compromise for elderly patients in hospitals, outpatient facilities, emergency departments, nursing facilities and long term care homes.There is also an increased risk to staff in these particular care facilities.

The United States has seen a senior living home with over twenty-two deaths confirmed in the state of Washington. Location technology with contagion mapping can help to track patients, residents, staff and visitors, which can help in proactive containment. The CDC has published guidelines for long term care facilities suggesting that residents should be monitored and anyone with breathing problems or fever should be separated and provided care by a dedicated COVID-19 team who have been provided adequate training on infection prevention.

Staff at these facilities have to be diligent in hand washing, ensuring that they wash hands before making contact with the next resident to reduce the risk of spreading the virus among elderly patients who may struggle to fight off the infection. Staff in these facilities that are unwell should not come to work.
