Daily Overview (March 26, 2020) Intensive work on standardization of best practices related to COVID-19 continues. Safety: A modified shelter in place declaration for Georgia, and a more stringent 14-day stay at home order for Atlanta continues. Additional safety measures including an additional crash cart and emergency PPE cart for codes have been implemented for EUH. Methods: Our current workflows for ED, inpatient, and outpatient imaging and image- guided procedures related to COVID-19 have been finalized in a document. Equipment: Emory, Grady, and CHOA home interpretation workstations or radiologists continue deployment. Supplies: Additional sources of PPE continue to be explored and additional shipments are arriving for use. The department of biomedical engineering is exploring modification of N95 masks for people who fail fit testing. Staffing: We continue work in optimizing staffing as imaging volumes decline, but also assembling and monitoring metrics for planning response to surge conditions.
