EvergreenHealth, a Washington health system, has enhanced safety protocols for patients seeking acute and elective procedures, while also working to prevent the spread of COVID-19, according to an article on the King5 website.
EvergreenHealth has set up appropriate social distancing and has a universal mask policy. Since April, all patients are tested for COVID-19 before any procedures.
There is also a restricted visitor policy based on the needs of the patient to minimize risks to both patients and staff.
Telehealth visits are also being used often for initial assessments and less serious concerns.
