We can help your facility prepare for the expected demand in ICU and HDU beds.
For example, Medcast can mobilise the list of nurses that did the initial education; provide refresher education to re-establish their confidence to redeploy; and reinforce education and training with current ICU and HDU staff. We can also assist you to rapidly expand your pool of nurses that can be deployed to ICU and HDU.
If you would like to discuss any of these options, please contact us.
