The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) is pleased to highlight the ID Connect consultation resource. Member organizations have undoubtedly expended significant efforts to develop COVID-19 policies to support the safety of individuals during the pandemic. This effort has created an important knowledge base at your organization that can serve as the foundation for broader infection control policies and practices.
ID Connect consultations can help with difficult policy development and implementation related to infectious diseases. Some examples:
- ID Connect can consult with your organization to develop policy in support of an individual’s informed choice to assume more or less risk than their peers, while striving to meet the potentially conflicting needs of other residents and staff.
- ID Connect can support the COVID-19 policies that your organization has implemented and transform them into broader infectious disease policies to prevent duplicative effort.
- ID Connect can provide subject matter expertise on infectious diseases, not limited to just COVID-19, when developing and implementing policies that address future concerns.
ID Connect can be contacted through your regional Healthcare Quality Unit (HCQU) to set up a consultation and have support in your work toward building a more resilient organization.
For more information, please contact your regional HCQU.
