Does your ASC have a COVID-19 binder? What sections are in it?

Yes. It is divided into sections based on the source of the information (i.e., Department of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, etc.). I recently had to upgrade to a large heavy-duty 5-inch binder to accommodate all of the information.

What is your PTO usage policy? If you don’t allow rollover of unused PTO, are you making an exception this year because of the pandemic?

There has been no change in our PTO policy. The staff has been utilizing their PTO days, as usual.
