THE SOUND AND VIDEO QUALITY ARE FAR BEYOND USING A MOBILE PHONE THAT WILL OFTEN HAVE POOR RECEPTION. THE WALK THROUGH AND REVIEW PROCESS FOR OUTBREAK MANAGEMENT SETUP WAS QUICK, EFFICIENT AND USER FRIENDLY· CHL follows a risk-based approach to managing infectious outbreaks. This means restrictions are applied to the affected wings where infected residents live rather than the whole of home approach that was in place early in the COVID-19 pandemic. · The Manager for Infection Prevention & Control (I) will conduct an internal Outbreak Management Team meeting with the frontline staff via Microsoft Teams and runs through all outbreak protocols providing advice and support to manage each individual home and scenario. · The CHL Outbreak Management Team (OMT) includes a walk-through of the home to ensure PPE is set up, and zones are correct. This helps ensure that we are managing and preventing the outbreak for spreading to other areas proactively. · The walk through before using HoloLens 2 was conducted using Mobile Phone camera and is often difficult as user tries to show the home with camera reversed and a substantial amount of time gets wasted trying to focus on the right location. These inefficiencies were eliminated by HoloLens 2, and it created an improved experience for me, when conducting the Outbreak management set up review.
