Current Situation
Public health guidelines regarding a health disaster are not typically available in the technology used by university health applications. Staff is required to transfer guidelines manually into their workstreams.
Goals and Objectives
Embed guidelines in workflow applications to improve the efficiency and consistency of applying guidelines across multiple departments responsible for responding to a health crisis. Guidelines can be accessed via multiple devices and channels to increasing access to key stakeholders.
Technology Deployed
Analytics and AI, mobile devices, social platforms, and collaborative platforms
Use Case Summary
During public health disasters, federal and state agencies issue guidelines for a variety of aspects of the disaster, such as symptom checking criteria, assessment of risk, instructions on care, and monitoring. Embedding those guidelines into workflow allows the information to become part of the response processes campuswide.
