Please share your experience working with patients diagnosed with COVID-19

My experience is making any COVID 19 related changes to the Electronic Medical Record to support all clinical staff in all regions within the organization. Most medical institutions now use Electronic Medical Record Platforms to document all clinical data. They are used for tracking, reporting, and pulling data to support research, new procedures, and regulatory requirements by the federal and state agencies, etc. Example: Build out new urgent care departments for staff to login and document clinical care and having it done in days instead of the weeks it usually took.

What advice would you give to people during this pandemic?

Stay home if possible (I am blessed to work from home) and if not possible, practice good hygiene and social distances. Sending prayers to all during this difficult time.
