HealthTrust University Conference presents…“Elective Procedures in the Era of COVID-19”

At the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, federal and state agencies recommended the suspension of non-emergent healthcare procedures in an effort to preserve personal protective equipment (PPE), ensure adequate hospital capacity, and mitigate the spread of the virus.  As the pandemic continues, hospitals are beginning to address to urgent and emergent non-COVID-19 related healthcare issues for patients within their community. During this session, presenters will share best practices for resuming and sustaining care in the midst on the COVID-19 pandemic. Discussion topics will include infection prevention and safety, stockpiling PPE, managing through a future resurgence, and the physician perspective.

Learning Objectives | At the end of this session, participants should be able to:

1.  Identify key considerations for the resumption and continued delivery of non-COVID-19 related healthcare throughout the pandemic.
2. Describe strategies to promote safety for patients, staff and hospital visitors.
3. Prioritize elective procedures based on clinical urgency, feasibility and strategic importance in the event of a future resurgence.
