The COVID-19 pandemic is turning into a marathon, and was never a sprint – and as time goes on even the highest performing team runs the risk of fatigue and errors. The goal of this session is to talk frankly about our experiences to date with this, acknowledge the challenges, and then discuss what we have done through workflow innovation in nursing practices, respiratory therapy, along with mindset training, and resilience.
