Healthcare facilities who may be experiencing staffing shortages due to COVID-19 To assist healthcare facilities in mitigating healthcare personnel staffing shortages that might occur because of COVID-19.
Maintaining appropriate staffing in healthcare facilities is essential to providing a safe work environment for healthcare personnel (HCP) and safe patient care.
As the COVID-19 pandemic progresses, staffing shortages will likely occur due to HCP exposures, illness, or need to care for family members at home.
Healthcare facilities must be prepared for potential staffing shortages and have plans and processes in place to mitigate these, including providing resources to assist HCP with anxiety and stress.
