Gibson Diagnostic Labs Provides Recommendations on How to Prepare Staff to Deliver Safe Care

Irving, Texas – (NewMediaWire) – September 15, 2020 – Minimizing the risk of infection for patients and staff is our
top priority here at Gibson Diagnostic Labs. To effectively do so in the
healthcare world requires facility readiness and workforce availability. 

All facilities need to
ensure they are prepared to deliver care and support under the new protocols to
help minimize the risk of infection. Guidance and recommendations on how to
safely operate your facilities are available from several agencies:

·        
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS)
recommends that facility staff be routinely screened
for COVID-19 symptoms. If a staff member is found symptomatic, testing and
quarantining of the individual should follow. 

·        
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
published a guide on how to prepare your workplace for operating amidst
COVID-19.

·        
The Center for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC)
 provides updated criteria for healthcare
workers as they navigate their return to work and what steps to take in the
case of COVID-19 symptoms. 

The Gibson Diagnostic
Labs team is ready to assist all patients with personalized, professional
service to deliver the highest level of quality diagnostic testing. The staff
continues to work diligently to increase testing capacity on a timely basis in
response to the public health crisis.
