Introduction: The current Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is forcing unprecedented changes in daily life in the United States. During this time many patients are under “lockdown” or “shelter-in-place” orders and the nephrology community has been forced to adapt quickly to this new reality. New York City is the epicenter of the American outbreak and dialysis patients are at especially high risk of COVID-19 exposure due to widespread use of public transportation and densely packed clinical spaces. Here we report the early use and success of using telehealth visits in place of usual in person monthly comprehensive visits in an effort to provide excellent patient care while limiting the risk of patient and staff exposure to COVID-19. Telehealth has distinct advantages during this crisis for the vulnerable home dialysis population, however many practical challenges remain.

  • Stamford Hospital Medical and Ancillary Staff Education Manual
    Stamford Hospital Medical and Ancillary Staff Education Manual Stamford Hospital is subject to oversight by several different regulatory agencies. Physicians must be knowledgeable about regulations promulgated by these organizations The Joint Commission, OSHA, State of Connecticut, CMS, CDC, et cetera which apply to their Hospital activities. This document is a summary of pertinent information. The Joint Commission The Joint Commission operates an accreditation program for hospitals and other types of health care providers. The Joint Commission’s primary purposes are to improve the quality and safety of patient care and to accredit facilities as having met a comprehensive set of standards required for reimbursement under the federally-mandated entitlement programs including Medicare and Medicaid. OSHA The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has developed standards that mandate certain actions designed to protect health care workers against infectious hazards from blood and body fluids, including blood borne pathogens such as Hepatitis B and HIV. These standards can be found in the yellow Infection Control Manuals on all patient care units here at Stamford Hospital, and in an online version of this manual in the Infectious Disease folder. I. CARE OF PATIENTS AND PATIENT RIGHTS RESTRAINTS There is a defined protocol for management of patients who require restraints. Restraints are avoided if at all possible as they render the patient helpless and dependent. Restraints should be removed as soon as a less restrictive method of assuring the patient's and safety of others becomes feasible. PHILOSOPHY The approach to restraint and seclusion at Stamford Hospital is protecting the patient's health and safety in the least restrictive environment while preserving their dignity, rights and well-being.
