Guidance for Outpatient Providers
Updated Guidance for Resource Management (ODH Health Alert)
State officials, Governor DeWine's COVID-19 Health Advisory Group, and the Ohio Hospital Association have been working on strategies for preserving personal protective equipment (PPE) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The result of these efforts is the development of a statewide plan to both preserve PPE and to direct patients to the most appropriate setting for any necessary assessments and testing, away from the ED and other patients. We are asking clinical providers, particularly primary care and other outpatient providers, to adopt the attached "COVID-19 Guidance for Primary Care and Outpatient Providers." More details in the ODH Letter.
