Code extract | Initial code | Subtheme | Theme |
|---|---|---|---|
“Residents had flexible visiting hours and daily activities before COVID-19, but they have been very restricted” | Visitation restrictions | Finding a safe alternative | The need to communicate with a suitable tool |

“We have a daily whiteboard meeting in each ward, where we plan out the daily tasks and organize digital tool testing” | Testing tools | Providing training | |
