Description

What’s the Problem?

When the COVID-19 Pandemic arrived in Philadelphia in March 2020, leadership at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital began a process of quickly authoring and updating a multitude of clinical guidelines, PPE (personal protective equipment) usage protocols, and surgical care standards in rapid succession.

The scope and scale of perioperative care at TJUH, which is made up of the Departments of Anesthesiology, Surgery, and Perioperative Nursing, means that a large and diverse number of individuals need timely access to a curated collection of resources that are specifically relevant to emergency airway management, urgent surgical care, testing, and recovery.

Large scale, campus-wide daily “Broadcast” emails are ineffective at communicating relevant information for activities related specifically to perioperative care.
