Implementation of a Virtual Huddle to Support Patient Care During the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Background: During a surge of COVID-19 cases, the volume of acute care patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure placed a high burden of responsibility on internal medicine, pulmonary and critical care medicine, and clinical pharmacy services.
Observations: We describe the COVID-19 Tele-Huddle Program, a novel approach to communication between key stakeholders in COVID-19 patient care through a daily video conferencing huddle. The program was implemented during a 4-week surge in COVID-19 cases at a large, academic medical center in Houston, Texas. Data collected during the COVID-19 Tele-Huddle Program included the type and number of interventions implemented, number of patients discussed, and COVID-19 therapies provided. In addition, hospital medicine team members completed a user-experience survey.
Conclusions: A multidisciplinary consultation service using video conferencing can support the care of patients with high disease severity without overwhelming existing inpatient medical, intensive care, and pharmacy services.
