| The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemichas created unique staffing pressures on emergencydepartments (EDs) as a result of many staff beingrequired to self-isolate due to travel, symptoms, contact,or proven COVID-19 infection. In addition to those staffwho are unable to work due to self-isolation, our Div-ision of Paediatric Emergency Medicine decided to insu-late our at-risk staff physicians who were over 60 years ofage, had significant comorbidities, or were pregnant. Understandably, during a health care crisis, the loss ofthese valuable staff members shifts the burden on to there maining front line health care providers. Additionally, the displacement and sudden lack of perceived purpose can be frustrating to those who are used to providing direct clinical care and who want to help with the crisis. While virtual care has been heralded as a solution in many out patient environments, it is more challengingin an ED because the clinician has no prior rapport with the patient, the patient problems are typically higher risk, and the physical exam component of a patientassess ment is often essential to making an accurate diagnosis. This article describes the different roles that anisolated clinician can assume while self-isolating as a“virtual attending.” Our tertiary care children’s went live with virtual reviewing on March 20, 2020,and has been making iterations to it since its launch. | |
