HME Operations: Inside the Pandemic

May 7, 2020 by David Kopf

As COVID-19 emerged in the United States, New York respiratory and HME provider Hampton Homecare Inc. quickly found itself at ground zero of the pandemic, and as its director of operations, Joe Candiano has overseen the company’s response to the public health emergency. 

In the current episode of the HMEB Podcast, Candiano describes how Hampton Homecare has responded to the crisis in terms of deliveries, equipment-handling, patient set-up, telehealth, staffing and other aspects of the business. He details the measures his business has taken, and the sacrifices his team has made, as well as the lasting, industry-wide changes he thinks will result from COVID-19.
