From the start of the pandemic, El Camino Health treated any patient entering the emergency rooms as a potential patient with COVID-19 who posed a risk of spreading the virus.
The command center at El Camino Health was in operation for an unprecedented 72 days on the Mountain View campus and fully activated within 24 hours of the first patient with COVID-19 arriving in the emergency room.
A quick shift in focus for both the patient care resources and human resources teams was needed during the COVID-19 pandemic in order to address evolving safety challenges requiring fast action.
