Description:All U.S. hospitals need to be prepared for patients with suspected or confirmed 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). All hospitals should be equipped and ready to:
• prevent spread of 2019-nCoV
• identify and isolate patients with 2019-nCoV and inform key facility staff and public health
authorities
• care for a limited number of patients with known or suspected 2019-nCoV as part of routine
operations
• potentially care for a larger number of patients in the context of escalating transmission
• outline plans for internal and external communication
• monitor and manage healthcare personnel with potential for exposure to 2019-nCoV
• manage the impact on patients, the facility, and healthcare personnel
The following checklist highlights some key areas for hospitals to review in preparation for 2019-nCoV. The checklist format is not intended to set forth mandatory requirements or establish national standards.
