Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic posed a huge challenge for health care facilities, prompting the need for innovative solutions to manage the influx of critically ill patients and protect health care workers.
- In response, Bergamo, the most affected province in Italy, quickly reorganized its health care system and established a COVID-19-only field hospital designed to meet the standards for treating severe acute respiratory infections (SARI).
- Key strategies included creating dedicated in-hospital pathways for health care workers, implementing strict infection prevention and control measures, and ensuring constant staff supervision to minimize the risk of occupational infection.
