Project Description:
Our DBP team, in consultation with a receptive hospital administration, rapidly determined that we should not bring infants and toddlers from the High-Risk Infant Follow-Up program to the clinic because of their increased vulnerability to infection. However, we did not want to cancel visits, especially at a time of high stress when children may be at risk for other dangers, such as maltreatment or hunger
We rapidly converted to remote telehealth. Our clinicians stayed at home and connected to children and families versus a secure portal in one of four ways: the electronic health record, zoom, webex, or telephone. We then figured out how to engage fellows and residents in visits with the help of IT at the hospital, using combinations of the virtual telehealth room and zoom, or zoom only. Physicians, psychologists, and nurses have all participated in remote Telehealth.
We recognize that we could convert therapeutic services like tripe p to online platform, new services to manage children mental health and homeschooling, new written material for website that families canuyse as resources in COVID 19 era.
