Project Summary

Dutch long term care organizations installed outbreak teams to coordinate covid-19 infection prevention and control. Outbreak teams’ minutes described a large amount of divers measures that were taken.

The aim of this follow-up study on the “Covid-19 Management In NUrsing homes by crisis TEamS” (MINUTES) study is to prioritize measures taken and to reflect upon decision making by OTs.
Panels of 4 to 7 multidisciplinary nursing home professionals (managers, physicians, nurses, support services, client representatives..) selected, discussed and prioritized measures they found important and urgent with Covid-19 outbreaks. We organized separate panels about measures regarding isolation, residents’ wellbeing, and staff.

Outputs / Expected Outputs

Expected outputs of the projects will be:

  • Prioritized measures by multidisciplinary professionals. These important and urgent measures could be recommended to other LTCs.
  • Insight into decision making by outbreak management teams
  • Preliminary factsheets are shared with national policy institutes and participating organizations as policy input, and freely available on our website.
