Review: Information overload: A method to share updates among frontline staff during the COVID-19 pandemic

This article presents an easily accessible COVID-19 “quicksheet” to provide frontline workers with the most up-to-date information.

Because the rate of influx of information about COVID-19 is fast and from multiple sources, the authors created a one-page centralized document (previewed in the article) to include the most up-to-date and relevant information for frontline workers. It is a condensed summary of longer, more detailed protocols. The most pertinent items include a header, updates, PPE recommendations, consult policies, emergent airway management, coverage policies, and self-monitoring. The quicksheet is updated on a daily basis by an appointed person who reviews daily information and distills it to the most important information. This central, interdepartmental communication tool is a useful template for a safety reference for frontline workers during a time of tremendous change and uncertainty.
