Practitioner Resources
With the COVID-19 crisis growing, many practices have changed the way they operate. In an effort to help disseminate useful information to our members, we’ve complied protocols that your practice may want to consider implementing, if you have not done so already. These protocols are meant to serve as a template so that you can pick and choose ideas that will work for you — or that can be adapted to your particular operation. We hope these strategies will help you, your staff and your clients stay as safe as possible during this stressful time.
