CDPH Describes Hospital Surge Monitoring Visits, Other Survey Activity

For licensing & certification staff, quality and patient safety staff

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has issued All Facilities Letter (AFL) 20-69, which outlines the survey activities the department will conduct for both hospitals and skilled-nursing facilities. Based on the daily COVID-19 data reported by hospitals, if CDPH determines a hospital is at risk of surging, the hospital will receive a phone call about its surge plan, any urgent needs, and whether it needs assistance from CDPH.
