Managing HITH equipment use and availability
HITH equipment use: minimising the risk as a source of infection through determining what needs to be in the home, cleaning requirements and lifespan of PPE stored in hot cars.
Equipment stock availability and cars: ensuring sufficient stock or supply chain of usual and additional (PPE, flocked swabs) equipment for the duration of the pandemic.
Telehealth equipment: ensuring good connection; access to videoconferencing is not universal in patients' homes, and may need to be replaced by telephone calls.
