Hello colleagues,
Here is our new IN-OFFICE ASSESSMENT GUIDANCE. We cannot just close our offices to all in-person visits, and I hope this guidance will empower you and your staff to manage the risks in this changing environment.
Hats off to the Department of Family and Community Medicine at St. Michael's Hospital, as they have just developed a proposed interim schedule for well-child and low-risk prenatal visits during the COVID-19 pandemic, which is available as a visual here. You can read the full piece that accompanies it here.
I hope you find this helpful. Please let me know if there are other tools you need - we hope to support you in practical ways for the very essential role you play in the lives of your patients and communities.
