Aim:
The COVID-19 pandemic poses unprecedented operational challenges to nephrology divisions in every country as they cope with COVID-19-related kidney disease in addition to regular patient care. Although general approaches have been proposed, there is a lack of practical guidance for nephrology division response in a hospital facing a surge of cases. Here, we describe the specific measures that our division has taken in the hope that our experience in Singapore may be helpful to others.
Methods:
Descriptive narrative.
Results:
A compilation of operational responses to the COVID-19 pandemic taken by a nephrology division at a Singapore university hospital.
Conclusion:
Nephrology operational readiness for COVID-19 requires a clinical mindset shift from usual standard of care to a crisis exigency model that targets best outcomes for available resources. Rapid multi-disciplinary efforts that evolve flexibly with the local dynamics of the outbreak are required.
