The goal of the program was to provide safe isolation and quarantine options for individual residents at risk of not being able to comply with isolation and quarantine mandates. Drawing upon historical lived experiences in planning and implementing the system for isolation and quarantine facilities, this qualitative public health case study report applies the plan-do-study-act (PDSA) improvement model and framework to review and summarize the implementation of this system. This case study also offers lessons for a unique opportunity for collaboration led by a public behavioral health leadership that expands upon traditionally narrow infectious disease control, by developing a continuum of care that not only addresses immediate COVID-19 concerns but also longer-term supports and services including housing, access to mental health services, and other social services. This case study highlights the role of a state agency in building a coalition of agencies, including a public university, to respond to the pandemic. The case study also discusses how continuous learning was executed to improve delivery of care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19159368","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,31]],"date-time":"2022-07-31T23:37:29Z","timestamp":1659310649000},"page":"9368","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Planning and Implementation of COVID-19 Isolation and Quarantine Facilities in Hawaii: A Public Health Case Report"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7755-9425","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Victoria Y.","family":"Fan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Science Research Institute, College of Social Sciences, University of Hawaii at M\u0101noa, Honolulu, HI 96822, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Craig T.","family":"Yamaguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Science Research Institute, College of Social Sciences, University of Hawaii at M\u0101noa, Honolulu, HI 96822, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ketan","family":"Pal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Science Research Institute, College of Social Sciences, University of Hawaii at M\u0101noa, Honolulu, HI 96822, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephen M.","family":"Geib","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Science Research Institute, College of Social Sciences, University of Hawaii at M\u0101noa, Honolulu, HI 96822, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leocadia","family":"Conlon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Science Research Institute, College of Social Sciences, University of Hawaii at M\u0101noa, Honolulu, HI 96822, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joshua R.","family":"Holmes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hawaii State Department of Health, Behavioral Health Administration, Honolulu, HI 96819, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yara","family":"Sutton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hawaii State Department of Health, Behavioral Health Administration, Honolulu, HI 96819, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amihan","family":"Aiona","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hawaii State Department of Health, Behavioral Health Administration, Honolulu, HI 96819, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amy B.","family":"Curtis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hawaii State Department of Health, Behavioral Health Administration, Honolulu, HI 96819, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Edward","family":"Mersereau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hawaii State Department of Health, Behavioral Health Administration, Honolulu, HI 96819, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ayouni, I., Maatoug, J., Dhouib, W., Zammit, N., Fredj, S.B., Ghammam, R., and Ghannem, H.
