The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic created significant disruption in higher education, especially in health science colleges where in-person and hands-on patient-facing learning environments are essential. Student monitoring and follow-up was an essential aspect of in-person learning for the fall 2020 semester.
Senior leaders and faculty in a college of nursing developed and implemented an innovative college-based COVID-19 management system to ensure real-time response to prolonged pandemic-related student absences.
Decisions made from this management system allowed leaders within the college to implement programmatic changes to ensure student and faculty well-being. Furthermore, the COVID-19 management system allowed for close student follow-up through phone calls with a faculty member to ensure student well-being.
Monitoring helped ensure appropriate physical and mental health services were accessible to students undergoing quarantine or self-isolation while also fostering positive student satisfaction throughout their prolonged absences. .
2019 年新型冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行对高等教育造成了重大干扰,尤其是在医学科学院,因为这里需要面对面的实践学习环境。对于 2020 年秋季学期,学生监测和随访是面对面学习的一个重要方面。
护理学院的高级领导人和教师制定并实施了一项创新的学院 COVID-19 管理系统,以确保对长时间的与疫情相关的学生缺勤做出实时响应。
该管理系统做出的决策使学院内的领导能够实施计划变更,以确保学生和教师的福祉。此外,COVID-19 管理系统通过与教师的电话交流,实现了对学生的密切跟踪,以确保学生的健康。
监测有助于确保接受隔离或自我隔离的学生能够获得适当的身心健康服务,同时在学生长时间缺勤期间培养积极的学生满意度。
