HEALTHQ
Tackling exposure risk with streamlined digital screening
At the onset of COVID-19, Bruyère was faced with the challenge of staff and visitors intending to enter Bruyère’s multi-site hospital and long-term care homes as they normally would.
The need to screen employees and visitors for COVID-19 symptoms when entering our facilities was an immediate priority in our response to the pandemic.
Bruyère partnered with Macadamian, a global leader in digital health solutions based in the national capital region, to develop the HealthQ platform to screen employees with a set of clinical questions and a dedicated back end that sent failed screenings directly to Occupational Health & Safety for follow up.
The digital health app has been instrumental in reducing high-contact paper-based screening forms and addressing the resulting bottleneck at our doors.
HealthQ has played a key role in keeping COVID-19 out of our facilities and actively protecting patients from COVID-19.
Based on the work done at Bruyère, the HealthQ platform has been scaled to many other hospitals, long-term care homes, and industries around the globe.
Today, HealthQ is running tens of thousands of people through daily COVID health attestations and playing a critical role in combatting COVID-19.
In the app's first year deployed, we saw:
