Outbreak in a care home: providing information quickly and carefully

An infectious disease spreads rapidly amongst vulnerable residents. CrisisRadar helps care homes and the Dutch Association of Care Homes (GGD) to keep residents, families and staff informed in a timely manner and through a single, clear message.

Het scenario

Wat er gebeurt

In one ward of the care home, several residents fall ill within a short space of time. The doctor suspects an outbreak of norovirus or flu. To stop the spread, the ward must be isolated and amended rules apply to visitors and staff. Relatives want to know how their loved ones are doing and whether they are still allowed to visit. Staff need clear instructions on hygiene and work rota. The ‘GGD’ wants to be kept informed quickly and to help devise measures. Everyone needs the same, reliable information at the same time.
