Surge Planning: Minimizing exposure, maximizing learning

As an academic medical center, University of Kentucky Healthcare wants to preserve the educational value of teaching residents but does not want to increase exposure risk (to providers and patients) by having large numbers of residents rounding in the hospital regularly.. Solution? Have an attending doctor “round” the team virtually using an iPad on a stand. In addition, the health system is actively building out new rooms and outfitting existing rooms for dual occupancy in their new hospital tower.
