HCAF: HCAF Briefing: Responding to Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Florida is one of dozens of states to declare a public health emergency as increasing cases of COVID-19 are being reported across the nation. As the novel coronavirus spreads, its outbreak is posing a particular challenge for home health providers. Those most vulnerable to the infectious disease include the elderly and those with pre-existing medical conditions such as asthma, COPD, similar respiratory conditions, diabetes, and heart disease — all common among homebound patients. Recent events, including the State of Florida's emergency order to impose temporary restrictions for all individuals entering residential and long-term care facilities, probably have you wondering what to do and what are some next steps to prepare your staff and patients. Plan to join HCAF on Thursday, March 19 at 12:00 ET for an hour-long briefing to get up to speed on the latest information on COVID-19 and its implications for home health providers while learning about practical, real-world solutions for possible scenarios specific to the in-home setting.
