ASC Covid-19 Action Plan
All ASCs should adopt the following:
- It is imperative that all ASCs are coordinating with their local department of public health. This will assure you receive the latest information and recommendations in your area.
- Implement CDC guidance and stay up to date by visiting these critical websites.
- Implement rigorous screening for patients and visitors prior to entering the facility.
- Maintain a safe environment for patients, employees and visitors, including adherence to social distancing recommendations.
- Implement enhanced cleaning as directed by CDC guidelines.
- As hospitals are implementing their disaster operations, ASCs should be responding likewise and coordinating their plan in conjunction with their local emergency medical response. If you need guidance with policies and a comprehensive emergency plan see the resources listed below.
- As you implement your emergency plan, your governing body should work together to address a policy on prioritizing elective vs urgent elective surgical procedures.
- Follow the guidance from recognized bodies in determining elective vs elective/urgent surgical procedures.
