COVID-19: Crisis Standards of Care—Guidance for Health Care Systems and Providers
Overview
March 26 | 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. EST
Given the trajectory of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is growing concern about the potential inability of health care personnel, equipment and resources to keep pace with the need for live-saving treatment, acute hospital care and intervention. What do hospitals and providers do when there are insufficient resources to provide care for all? Who decides who will receive treatment? What is fair and equitable? What is legally permissible? Crisis Standards of Care (CSC) planning and guidance can help providers address these and other critical issues that arise when health care systems are in crisis operations.
