Provider Clinic Update

Hi All!

 

Some of these updates are duplicates from ResFac but some are new.  Take a look and let me know if you have questions!

 

  • Attached are some slides from our Centura provider update last week with some interesting epidemiologic info, take a look

 

  • Some interesting/encouraging data from Centura-

Over 7000 tests done for routine outpatient pre-op patients in the last few weeks, only 0.13-0.14% were positive for Covid-19!  Very low prevalence in this low-risk population. Hope it stays that way!

 

  • Free Covid-19 testing is available at the Pepsi Center for patients even when asymptomatic – (self nasal swab)

 

  • Reminder to all of us to be flexible and help the clinic team by shifting desks when asked and wearing masks at all times.  Thanks to all of you already doing this!

 

  • Also please don’t eat in the pods –this is important for cleanliness and ability to wear masks.  We also have been attracting insects :/

 

  • Thanks to all of you for your continued flexibility as schedules shift.  We are doing our best to see as many patients as we can as safely as we can.  We remain open to your thoughts and feedback on this!

 

  • There is a Covid-19 Smart Set which includes ordering the PCR test and the diagnoses to ensure this is coded correctly (and will be paid by insurance) – screen shots below.  Secondary diagnoses are listed there as well:

RE: September Book Club 9/10

  Hello!   So, this week is looking a bit chilly.  To make sure to enjoy the outdoors before it gets cold and we have to zoom all winter, I think we should move book club to Thursday, 9/17.  I hope everyone can still make it (and, you have an extra week to read the book!)    As a reminder, we will be discussing So You Want to Talk About Race - Ijeowa Ilua.      You have some more time to vote on location/food; please let me know if you haven’t voted yet, or would like to change your vote.   Anthem Park, just north of the hospital (where we had the last book club), with food from Ras Kassa’s Ethiopian restaurant in Lafayette. Green Valley Ranch town center park (in Northeast Denver), with food from African Grill and Bar (West African/Ghanian/Nigerian food).      Thanks everyone!   Sarah     *******************************************************...
