Conduit President Shares How to Meet Recent Surges in Health Care Demand

At Conduit Health Partners, we’re passionate about helping all populations of people receive the right level of care at the right time and in the right place.

In a recent Integrated Healthcare Executive article, Cheryl Dalton-Norman, president and co-founder of Conduit Health Partners, comments on how the combination of RSV, COVID-19, and flu impacted health systems, as well as how organizations can optimize their workflows to meet surges in demand.

“When there are really big surges in patients needing health care, solutions like triage and transfer centers can lift that burden from the bedside caregivers and help get people to the right level of care,” shares Cheryl. “Within Conduit, we believe it’s important to have that nursing-led model, where the first point of contact in triage when a patient calls is a registered nurse. In the transfer center, when a physician is calling, wanting to get a patient moved, having a registered nurse who can understand the clinical needs of the patient is important.”
