Answer:
Technology in clinical care
As we log onto the computer to virtually care for our patients, we've found ourselves wondering: Is technology removing the very human core of the physician-patient relationship?
What we have seen over these weeks is the very opposite.
In emergency medicine, technology is making it easier to connect with our patients, while protecting both patients and providers and preserving our stores of masks, gowns and gloves.
Using drive-through testing, patients do not have to leave their cars to be evaluated. After registering over the phone, patients connect with physicians via video conferencing while a nurse wearing protective gear obtains their vital signs and collects their nasal swab.
Video monitors in each room in the Marc and Laura Andreessen Emergency Department make it possible to video conference with patients, minimizing the number of health care providers each patient is exposed to. Providers who are at risk themselves, due to medical conditions or for other reasons, can feel more at ease, staying protected from exposure while still caring for their patients.
Once a patient is admitted to the hospital, technology is helping us respond to patient needs.
An artificial intelligence algorithm evaluates numerous clinically relevant parameters from the electronic medical record to identify patients at highest risk for clinical deterioration. These algorithms are being actively tested to see if they can help steer clinicians towards earlier, more aggressive interventions for patients who are most likely to benefit.
In our clinics, visits have been rapidly converted to telehealth. Medical assistants virtually prepare patients -- who are comfortably at home -- for their visits. We have been quickly trained on telemedicine techniques, such as the virtual physical exam, learning how to perform even complex evaluations like a neurologic examination via video remarkably effectively.
The rapid digitization of our workplace extends even to anatomic pathology. Daily discussions of cases that once took place around microscopes with faculty members has now been replaced by video conferencing, as residents and fellows preview their digitized cases remotely. The daily preview of glass slides has also shifted to the digital platform.
Technology is even helping us stay engaged in our learning and maintain our sense of community. Regular town halls held by leaders via video conference keep staff up to date with the latest department and hospital policies and procedures, as well as the latest developments in testing and treatment. To support the wellness of faculty and staff, virtual support groups and happy hours help ensure individuals stay connected, even when quarantined at home between shifts.

Explanation:
Strategies in the control of an outbreak are screening, containment (or suppression), and mitigation. Screening is done with a device such as a thermometer to detect the elevated body temperature associated with fevers caused by the coronavirus.[
