COVID-19 INFORMATION

The true impact of a COVID-19 outbreak in a U.S. community cannot be predicted. However, all healthcare facilities can take steps now to protect both their patients and staff. Healthcare providers can minimize their risk of exposure when caring for confirmed or possible COVID-19 patients by following Interim Infection Prevention and Control Recommendations for Patients with Confirmed Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), Persons Under Investigation for COVID-19 in Healthcare Settings and Guidelines on Preparing Workplaces for COVID-19 (OSHA 3990) as you begin to reopen your facilities. These guidelines and many other guidelines for infection prevention and control can be found on the following websites:

www.whitehouse.gov www.who.int

www.cdc.gov www.pmimd.com

Tools and resources exist as part of healthcare system preparedness plans and are often referred to as Pandemic Plans. Consult your state or local health department about specific plans for your community.

Helpful hints: Many of our clients are modifying their practices to protect their workers and patients. Some have limited the number of chairs in their waiting room and placed them 6 feet apart. Others are having patients wait in their cars after checking in and calling them when ready to be seen. Each practice will need to evaluate their protocols and determine the best way to serve their patients and keep their staff healthy.

**If you have any unique systems you have put into place during this crisis, please contact us by phone (210-493-2999) or email (info@thecompliancedivision.com) and we will share the information. In the meantime, we hope everyone will stay safe and healthy while we weather this storm.**
