To support hospitals and health systems in their efforts to prepare and care for patients exposed to and diagnosed with novel coronavirus, CHA has established multiple channels for the latest developments, guidance, and other important information about novel coronavirus.
Resources include:
- Regularly scheduled calls with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), including an opportunity to anonymously submit questions for CDPH in advance.
- Email updates — titled Coronavirus Watch — with new information and guidance as it becomes available, sent to CEOs, chief medical officers, chief nursing officers, chief operating officers, in-house counsel, and staff in government relations, infection prevention, human resources, quality & patient safety, emergency preparedness, clinical education, legal, risk, and compliance
- A web page that serves as a repository of information, recommendations for hospitals, and helpful resources
