Developing InfraStructure for Research to Utilize Patient-centered Techniques at SLHS (DISRUPTS)

This COVID-19 enhancement will expand the community's understanding of PCOR/CER in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic through the development of virtual forms of education on the use of non-pharmaceutical interventions (e.g. community mitigation strategies) for preventing the spread of COVID-19. We will inform the community on St. Lawrence Health System's COVID-19 efforts and how they compare with those of other rural and non-rural healthcare institutions. We will incorporate different perspectives from the community (e.g. school systems, businesses, healthcare) to explain the safety measures currently in place, and how the audience can help ensure the continued safety of the community. In the more immediate future, the provided information could be used to help monitor and guide the region's continued re-opening efforts.
