Even as the number of COVID-19 cases continues to rise, we’re seeing so many examples of exceptional kindness, courage and compassion with which our care providers are meeting the health challenge of a lifetime. Every day and everywhere, our hospitals and health systems and their teams are giving their all for patients, working incredibly long hours at some risk to themselves and their families.

HR Dive
As the pandemic forces millions of workers to hunker down for an indefinite period of time, workplaces have become remote by necessity. This means work-related activities, including learning and development, have also gone remote.

For centuries, the dominant form of medical care has been based on a one-to-one relationship between a physician and an individual patient. In contrast, with a one-to-many model of care, a health care professional can manage a group of patients using remote monitoring tools and patient-generated data, and identify those requiring in-the-moment care. One-to-many care can take multiple forms, but a core concept is management by exception, in which patient data is tracked and reviewed regularly and the provider only intervenes on patients who need attention at any given moment.
