Nevertheless your post above brought other issues to mind that we should also develop protocols for. Thanks!

I'd put two other areas very high on the priority list: medical records/confidentiality issues OSHA-required policies re infection control - you've touched on it re patients with infectious diseases - there is an entire set of policies and procedures that you are required to have in place to handle these issues. There's a lot of good guidance available to create these policies - you just need to adapt the material to your practice.

OSHA-required policies re infection control – you’ve touched on it re patients with infectious diseases – there is an entire set of policies and procedures that you are required to have in place to handle these issues. There’s a lot of good guidance available to create these policies – you just need to adapt the material to your practice.
