| Popis: | Highlights • Neurology teams can care for patients with COVID-19 in lieu of being redeployed. • Maintaining team structures has advantages to redeployment during pandemic surges. • Streamlining neurological services increases capacity to care for COVID-19 patients. The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically affected the operations of New York City hospitals during March and April of 2020. This article describes the transformation of a neurology division at a 450-bed tertiary care hospital in a multi-ethnic community in Brooklyn during this initial wave of COVID-19. In lieu of a mass redeployment of staff to internal medicine teams, we report a novel method for a neurology division to participate in a hospital’s expansion of care for patients with COVID-19 while maintaining existing team structures and their inherent supervisory and interpersonal support mechanisms. |
