Interdisciplinary bridging response teams for field hospitals in Wuhan during the COVID-19 pandemic

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: In this essay, we provide an overview of a social worker-led, interdisciplinary practice model designed to combine essential online psycho-social support and local community self-governance for COVID-19 patients with minor symptoms in quarantine field hospitals in the city of Wuhan from February to May 2020. The interdisciplinary bridging response teams (IBRTs) model was designed for congregating settings to bridge offline community mobilization and online interdisciplinary professional services. We discuss the two-tier structure and organization of the practice model, the professionals’ roles and main tasks, and the key features that ensured the success of the model.
