In response to mounting concerns related to the coronavirus (COVID-19), CenTrak will host a free webinar for healthcare professionals on Wednesday, March 11 at 2:00 PM EDT. An on-demand recording will be available on CenTrak’s website after the live event.
In addition to infection prevention and control recommendations from the CDC, an expert panel will explore how locating, sensing and IoT technologies can reduce the spread of infection in a variety of healthcare applications, including hand hygiene compliance and contact tracing between patients, visitors, staff and equipment.
The webinar was planned following the cancellation of HIMSS20—the first time the popular healthcare conference has been canceled in 58 years. According to conference officials, the event was canceled, in part, due to the potential of an adverse event that could displace healthcare workers during a critical time.
“Though we were disappointed by the news, CenTrak supports the decision to cancel HIMSS20 and understands the significant risks associated with the coronavirus,” said CenTrak Chief Commercial Officer Wil Lukens. “Unlike other industries, healthcare cannot close its doors in the face of an outbreak, and healthcare professionals must find ways to safely care for patients regardless of the circumstances. CenTrak is committed to helping healthcare leaders strengthen their infection control practices and will continue to support that goal beyond the current crisis.”
