Ayant reçu plus de 2 000 commentaires relatifs à COVID-19 de la part de travailleurs de la santé, de leurs proches et d’autres membres de la communauté pendant la pandémie, la Commission mixte les résume dans SEA 62, Voices from the pandemic, la première d’une série d’alertes qui répondent aux préoccupations des travailleurs de la santé et fournissent des conseils sur la manière de répondre à leur crise, les aidant à se préparer aux circonstances souvent accablantes qui entourent les soins aux patients pendant une pandémie.
The continuing onslaught of COVID-19 is pushing heath care organizations to their limits and workers beyond physical exhaustion, inflicting emotional damage on those who care for patients. The pandemic is highlighting the absolute indispensability of a dedicated and fearless health care workforce, and the need to better ensure the safety and health of workers has become the topic of a national conversation. To date, The Joint Commission’s Office of Quality and Patient Safety (OQPS) has received more than 2,000 COVID-19 related comments from health care workers, their loved ones and other community members during the pandemic. These comments are summarized in a new Sentinel Event Alert 62, Voices from the pandemic: Health care workers in the midst of crisis. The document is first in a series of alerts that address health care workers’ concerns and provide guidance on how to respond to their crisis, helping prepare them for the often-overwhelming circumstances surrounding caring for patients during a pandemic.
