Baptist Health Care COVID-19 Update #9 - 4/15/2020
Recognizing the importance of maintaining close communication between patients and their families at a time when infection prevention measures have necessitated a strict visitation policy, Baptist Health Care has created a Patient and Family Communication Team.
Communication liaisons are now assigned to each inpatient unit at Baptist, Gulf Breeze and Jay hospitals to facilitate virtual visits with patients and families. This helps to identify and overcome any barriers that might prevent them from using technology to connect with their loved ones.
As part of the program, the Baptist information technology department has provided 30 Chromebooks equipped with the Zoom app that patients without access to a smart phone can use to have face time with their families.
