Workplace health and safety companies that were able to take their technology and quickly adapt it to the needed COVID-19 response benefited from the instant demand created by COVID-19 screening and testing. With widespread sharing of test results with employers, a party generally not privy to PHI before COVID-19, one major challenge was managing Protected Health Information (PHI) and ensuring compliance with HIPAA regulations. As we navigate through this pandemic and beyond, technology will continue to play a significant role in delivering solutions for vaccinations, post-vaccination antibody testing, and our society’s response to future pandemics.

Speaking generally about wind farm construction, Saunders explains that “the column in a generic wind turbine is incredibly cramped and the nacelles haven’t necessarily been designed with emergency access capabilities in mind.” As a result, providing critical emergency care during the Golden Hour (the crucial period when prompt emergency care can result in the injured person surviving or not) is made all the more difficult. As a result, it is important to plan for what could go wrong by initiating a comprehensive medical emergency response plan with a team of highly qualified industry professionals.
