Ensuring a safe environment for patients and staff in COVID-19 health-care facilities: a module from the suite of health service capacity assessments in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic
Countries can use the Ensuring a safe environment for patients and staff in COVID‑19 health-care facilities assessment tool to assess and monitor the structural capacities of facilities to: (i) allow safe COVID‑19 case management; (ii) continue to deliver essential services; and (iii) enable surge planning. Collecting this information provides guidance for immediate action and resolution of identified gaps. It is relevant for preparedness and readiness, as well as for evaluations during the response and, in particular, at any time the epidemiological situation requires further modifications/repurposing of the health-care facility structure and flows.
