This was assessed by measuring the duration of Staff-initiated Social Interactions with residential clients.
For a new pandemic, the important issues to factor in are magnitude and duration, calculation of staff shortages, and the limited capacity to call in external resources.
However, the median duration of closure, staff affected and average cases per day of outbreak were higher in the prompt closure group (Kruskal-Wallace rank sum tests all p<0.001).
A specific form was designed and variables recorded included patient characteristics, date of HaH admission and discharge, reason for admission, number and duration of patient-staff contacts, and outcome.
As a result, we focussed on the bulk of costs, i.e. frequency, duration and number/type of staff involved in meetings, workshops, development teams and training.
Eleven days is the recommended duration of training for staff at primary health care level.
If the treating clinician did not mention the duration of cough, study staff contacted the clinician to ascertain whether the cough was acute (≤ 21 days).
Finally, relatively short duration of service and staff rotation reduced the benefit of in-service BEmONC training to individual healthcare institutions and in some cases, for the healthcare system as a whole "After receiving BEmONC training, some of those trained changed their field, and others resigned from this facility".
Such locations would help ensure that the program is sustainable and that the developed intervention is feasible relative to frequency of sessions, number of participants, number of staff, duration of the sessions, transport, and financial limitations.
This will include staff resources (e.g. number, grades of staff), treatment/appointment duration; equipment and materials used.
