Brown & Fortunato has published a white paper, Structuring COVID-19 Protocols for DME Suppliers, to help HME providers outline written guidance for protecting their patients and staff during the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE).
The white paper focuses on helping providers shape a written protocol by examining three key topics:
- The reliable government sources for COVID-19 guidance.
- Recommended controls for DME supplier employees.
- Recommended controls for DME supplier patients.
In addition to Structuring COVID-19 Protocols for DME Suppliers, Brown & Fortunato has released several papers related to the PHE that are available for download from the American Association for Homecare website:
- COVID-19 Personnel and Safety Issues
- Renting Equipment to Hospitals During the COVID-19 Crisis
- DME Suppliers and “Essential Services”
- The CARES Act
Additional COVID-19 updates and resources from AAHomecare are available from the association’s COVID-19 Resources & Guidance page.
