Abstract

Many clinical environments implemented Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) screening technologies at entry points to identify and isolate cases. Despite the widespread adoption of screening technologies in vulnerable care settings, such as in long-term care (LTC) homes, implementations and protocols have yet to be thoroughly reviewed in the literature. Therefore, the Dynamic Sustainability Framework was applied to identify the limitations of various screening technology implementations. Based on identified limitations, design recommendations are put forward to support healthcare planning and design teams of long-term care homes, and clinical facilities to improve infection prevention and control (IPC).
