MarinHealth Flips Virtual Care Model to Protect Staff From COVID-19

MarinHealth has flipped the model on virtual care. Rather than using this mode of care to treat patients remotely, the 235-bed independent California hospital is using this approach inside the facility to minimize staff exposure to inpatients with COVID-19 and conserve personal protective equipment (PPE).

More than 90 rooms, including 10 ICU beds, have been outfitted with special equipment—including a camera and large screen television inside the room—that enable physicians, nurses, and other personnel to deliver much of the patient's care virtually from multiple stations situated in quiet locations throughout the facility.
