How are care teams managing patient and staff exposure to contagions in their clinics? And how does a direct-rooming model contribute to social distancing and a better, safer patient experience?

**Tawni Solberg, MHA, Risk Manager at Columbia Basin Health Association**, shares how staff are using real-time locating system (RTLS) technology originally deployed for patient flow to address several concerns in the new COVID-19 reality: self-rooming workflows to limit interactions in the waiting room; automated contact tracing to identify patients and staff who may have been exposed to contagions; and room status cues to understand at a glance which exam rooms need disinfecting and which are ready for a new patient. Tawni is joined by **Kim Barnhardt, RN, MHA/MBA, Clinical Education Manager at Midmark RTLS**, who will explain the technology in clinical terms, helping those health systems considering RTLS understand how the technology not only improves the patient experience, but also makes it a safer one.**
