  • Students with Special Health Needs
    Specialized Health Needs Interagency Collaboration COVID-19 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL HEALTH NEEDS Original 7/2020; Updated 8/13/2020, 2/15/2021 Preparing for staff and students to safely return to school during COVID-19 requires effective communication and planning. Children and youth with special health needs (CYSHN) may require additional considerations for the delivery of care in the educational setting related to their chronic condition, medical needs, or intellectual disability. Children with specialized healthcare needs comprise 25% of the student population and are at increased risk for COVID-19 complications (NASN, 2020). The purpose of this tool is to help the school nurse understand his/her role in supporting students with special health care needs and be a member of the school COVID-19 re-entry plan. 1. What is your school health staffing model? 2. What routine medications are administered? 3. What scheduled procedures occur in the health room? 4. How many students have an individualized healthcare plan and/or emergency care plan? 5. Where is your health room located? 6. Do you have an isolation area identified within your school or health room? 7. Have you considered a triage area for students entering health room? 8. How do teachers communicate with the school nurse about current student concerns during the day? 9. Are classrooms and teachers equipped to manage basic first-aid? 10. How does your local school system communicate and work with private duty nursing or aides in your school building? Review data on previous health room visits. Note scheduled medication(s), time, common PRN medication(s), and reasons for frequent sick visits.

  • COVID Mask Effectiveness Webinar Questions and Answers
    Tools & Resources Webinar: Effectiveness of Medical and Cloth Masks for COVID-19 Protection January 27, 2021 | Q&A Log 1. How can we assume any consistent perfect fitting by wearers of the masks? The majority of the testing was done on the same individuals to ensure consistency of facial characteristics. Each individual was assisted in fitting by an additional staff member. The team has done many hundreds of tests since March of 2020. 2. Are N95 masks effective and safe for wastewater workers regarding COVID-19 in wastewater? What about KN95 masks? Masks are given “N”, “R”, or “P” ratings based on their ability to repel oil https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/topics/respirators/disp_part/default.html Depending on what type of exposure is common for such workers, an elastomeric mask, typically worn in the construction and manufacturing may be more appropriate. These masks have a surface that can be cleaned and disinfected, with filter disks that are replaceable. Here is a link to a study of healthcare personnel and adapting these masks to their context with lower supply of traditional N95 masks available https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2763841 KN95 or even procedure type (often called surgical) masks can offer protection, provided they fit well. Surgical masks that are FDA approved are frequently used in the healthcare field for their robustness to fluid exposure. However, although their inward filtration ability is adequate from a material standpoint, they are often lower values in real world testing due to loose/poor fit and gaps. These can be improved with a fit adjustment technique (“hack”, “fixthemask” brace, etc.).

  • Face Mask and Face Shield Manufacturing Directory
    Face Mask and Face Shield Manufacturing Directory January 2021 Face Mask and Face Shield Manufacturing Directory To help meet increased demand for medical equipment and PPE due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Victorian Government has worked with local industry to prepare a series of directories. This directory identifies local companies that manufacture masks or provide input materials such as fabrics. The directory includes four sections: 1. Reusable fabric mask suppliers 2. Surgical & respirator mask suppliers 3. Fabric suppliers 4. Face Shields Ethical Clothing Australia The directory states where a company is Ethical Clothing Australia accredited. Ethical Clothing Australia’s accreditation is focused on ensuring that local textile, clothing and footwear workers are being paid appropriately, receiving all the legal minimum entitlements and working in safe workplaces throughout the entire supply chain. The supply chain audit covers design, pattern making, cut, make, trim and dispatch, and all value adding services. In line with our policy, Victorian Government purchases of Uniforms and PPE can only be made from businesses that are ECA accredited. Disclaimer Whereas every effort has been made to verify the details in this directory, the Victorian Government accepts no responsibility to guarantee the delivery of products or services by the organisations listed in the directory nor does inclusion in the directory guarantee the placement of orders or contracts.
