covid-19_fall-winter_preparation.pdf
Physicians will be compensated to a maximum of 20 hours in total for active planning performed between October 19, 2020 to March 31, 2021, provided the following criteria are met:
- Meetings and planning work must be directly related to supporting the Management of COVID-19 Health Sector Plan for Fall/Winter 2020/21;
- Meetings must be about service delivery planning, re-design and implementation related to provision of patient care at a community, facility, regional and/or provincial level in response to COVID-19;
- The planning work is extraordinary, and goes beyond usual department, division or MSA meeting – planning for patient care in the outpatient physician office settings is not eligible; and,
- Physicians are active in the planning - payment will not be provided for passive attendance at meetings.
New Visitor Policy: A patient centered approach that recognizes:
1. Family members are essential partners in care and play an important role in well-being, comfort, quality of life, healing and/or recovery.
2. While we need to limit visits as an important precaution to ensure the safety of all, the risks of loneliness and isolation must be considered, as well as the potential impacts on Indigenous people and their families who may have past experiences of racism and discrimination in health care environments.
3. We must balance the need for safety with the need for connection between individuals and their families; our goal is to implement a fair and consistent approach to essential visit decision making across all care settings.
The attached form can help guide staff and physicians through this process.
