As Tropical Storm Debby impacts SC, Doctors Care faces tough decisions regarding office closures in the Low Country and Beach regions. Due to flooded roads and downed trees, safety concerns have made access to some of our centers impossible. A written policy, as recommended by Alan Ayers in a 2014 JUCM article, is vital. This policy should cover patient and staff notifications for closures, the handling of lab test results and x-ray readings finalized when centers are closed, and the decision-making process for when it is safe and feasible to reopen. Fortunately, our telemedicine platform - Doctors Care Anywhere - is prepared to help meet the healthcare needs of affected communities. #Healthcare #CommunitySupport #TropicalStormDebby #SafetyFirst
