For many health systems around the world, COVID-19 has exacerbated an already stretched healthcare workforce who have been asked to do more with less in the context of a complex public health crisis. Frontline clinicians required  access to accurate information and clinically validated treatment protocols to support their management of patient care and reduce stress in a crisis situation. The accelerated implementation of digital innovations created a truly unprecedented opportunity to facilitate and improve management of care, reduce risk of transmission to patients and staff, and support the workforce in their acute response.  
Convening global experts who experienced the reality of the recent crisis comparing experiences and conclusions on the topic of supporting the workforce, this session will also highlight the results of the Future Health survey, revealing essential requirements to support the clinicians of the future.

Learning Objectives:

• Recognise how frontline clinicians have been supported with appropriate information, protocols, accurate data and clinical recommendations.
• Understand how Covid has accelerated the digital agenda in an unprecedented manner, encouraging acceptance of digital and remote consultations by clinicians and patients alike.
• Discover how COVID-19 has accelerated the deployment of digital health solutions in large hospital systems, including the use of apps and online consultations to maintain quality of care for patients during the crisis.
