Soft Opening for Healthcare Facilities
Hospitals begin assessing to restart non-COVID-19 essential services after Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services releases guidelines for healthcare organizations in areas with low or stable levels of COVID-19. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services previously recommended hospitals limit nonessential surgeries and medical procedures during the pandemic. The new guidelines encourage a gradual transition back to these services in which healthcare leaders collaborate with local and state public health officials. Hospitals should also assess their supply levels, workforce availability, facility readiness, and testing capacity when deciding when to resume or ramp up in-person care.
“Today, some areas of the country are experiencing fewer cases and lower incidence of the virus, necessitating a more tailored and flexible approach,” CMS Administrator Seema Verma, said in a press release. “Every state and local official will need to assess the situation on the ground to determine the best course forward, but these guidelines provide a gradual process for restarting non-COVID-19 essential care while keeping patients safe.”
In anticipation of these new changes, we are hopeful to see a ramp-up in the need for nationwide coverage as hospital care and services. For more information on current jobs or to submit a request for coverage click the links below.
