New and Updated COVID-19 Resources
MSMS continues to augment and revise resources to meet our members evolving needs as necessitated by the coronavirus pandemic and related statutes, regulations, and guidelines. Two of the more recent additions on the MSMS COVID-19 Resource Center for Physicians and Patients website are found under the Practice Safe Medicine Toolkit. MSMS Legal Counsel created a template authorization form for the disclosure of information pertaining to a staff member’s COVID-19 positive status or exposure. Additionally, a copy of the MIOSHA Emergency Rules governing workplace safety requirements for employers has been posted.
Other Toolkit templates that have been updated recently are as follows:
- COVID-19 Preparedness and Response Plan (Note: If you own and operate a medical practice, you are required to have a plan.)
- COVID-19 Sample Employee Screening Form
- COVID-19 Sample Visitor Screening Policy
- COVID-19 Sample Symptomatic Employee Screening Form
In these unprecedented times, MSMS continues to be the cornerstone upon which members can rely to help navigate the multitude of state and federal mandates and guidelines, which continue to evolve.
