COVID-19 and Communicable Disease Plan
Updated 01/03/2023
Our priority is the health and wellness of our community. We are taking measures to minimize the risk of communicable disease and viral transmission. One of these measures is ensuring that all clinicians, patients and admin staff are pre-screened for signs of communicable diseases such as COVID-19 daily. All in-person services must only proceed when the anticipated benefits of such services outweigh the risks to the patient and the health care provider.
Our clinicians cannot maintain physical distancing in the treatment room. We are doing the following to minimize the risk of viral transmission:
- Ongoing self -assessment for any signs of communicable diseases by patient, clinicians and admin.
- Physical barriers in waiting room
- Hand hygiene protocols are in place
- Sanitizing, disinfecting and cleaning protocols are in place.
- Appropriate use of personal protective equipment.
- Meeting of all professional obligations, particularly related to informed consent and liability insurance.
- Offering Tele rehab for Physiotherapy appointments as an alternative to in person care.
Things may change as our business operates. We will continue to make changes to our policies and procedures as necessary.
