Central ANIA Midwest will be hosting an educational webinar presented by Bre Loughlin, MS, RN and Tracy Zvenyach, PhD, APRN-NP. Learn how a Madison-based nursing technology solutions company deployed tablets, virtual meeting platforms, and electronic forms to provide video COVID-19 screening for homeless shelters. Nurse Disrupted is massive compassion through simple technology.
Imagine living in these recent difficult pandemic times without a home or proper healthcare. Homeless shelter populations experience limited access to healthcare in regular times, and a pandemic situation worsens their conditions. Through the Virtual Volunteer program, trained nurses screen for COVID-19, maintain protocol, and provide education on safe practices. The virtual connection also provides a human connection in unusual times of isolation and separation.
