The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has posted a list of resources for providers to use as we look forward or take steps back during the pandemic. Times are uncertain, change is a “norm” and your resilience has been amazing. That said, it might be time to look at the systems you have in place to be sure they are “working”. Even the “experts” in our world are constantly updating recommendations based on new and evolving knowledge of the SARS-CoV-2 virus!
One of the links AHRQ has shared was developed by the Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC) COVID-19 Response Resources. This link has tools, technical assistance, clinical training, and convening opportunities to help your organization in the middle of a COVID-19 surge or for planning ahead. An example of some of the resources on this link include:
- Communication
- Symptom management
- Emotional PPE
- Palliative Care Team
- Telehealth
- Waivers
Take a few minutes to access this link, a lot of great, shared information! Stay well, mask up indoors and stay tuned!
