PPE Workflow
The CMs will retrieve PPE from the supply boxes, keep at the front desk, and track what is distributed to providers and patients. This information will be recorded in the post-clinic email and the operations chair will resupply, as needed. CMs should also email the operations chair if any supplies are noted to be low (<10) and include all PPE given out in the post-clinic email. A running tracker of PPE supplies can be found here.
