Overview
The COVID-19 pandemic becomes a global challenge. Beneficial to being an island country and having appropriate policies, there were only few imported cases in Taiwan. However, many locally acquired cases came out in the mid of this May. The hospital policy about containing infection changed accordingly.
A real-time communication platform for the health care workers was designed and embedded in the hospital information system of the emergency department in 2018. The functions included sending messages to certain staff, pop-up reminders, and tracking messages. This study aims to evaluate the use of the communication platform during the COVID pandemic.
