Background summary
Quasi experimental study with before-after design of digital communication in the ED. Contact isolation of patients has negative impact on patient’s psychological well-being, safety and satisfaction. Furthermore, it is advised to limit patient contact because the supplies of personal protective equipment (PPE) are limited. Digital consultation is therefore recommended. Digital consultation, or telemedicine, means a healthcare worker has video contact with the patient while the patient is in a contact isolation room. The effect of digital consultation has not been studied yet.
Aim: Does digital consultation reduce PPE use in the ED in patients treated in contact isolation during the Covid-19 pandemic, and does digital consultation improve patient’s well-being (e.g. Hospital Anxiety, patient satisfaction)?
Study objective
Telemedicine will reduce personal protection equipment. Furthermore it could benefit patients' well-being
Study design
