Key Takeaways from Today's Episode:

• When it comes to best practices for internal communications, start with empathy – acknowledge this is scary for people.

• We need to guide nurses and front line staff to understand what they need to do to not take this virus home with them.
• If you don't have digital media monitoring set up to follow conversations, start now. Otherwise, you'll be caught by surprise.

• Find ways to ensure there are processes in place for two-way communication either through managers, emails, etc.
