The Entire State Of Idaho Is Now In Hospital Crisis Mode
HuffPost
Idaho is currently experiencing a wave of COVID-19 cases rivaling its all-time peak late last fall.
The coronavirus is spreading so quickly in Idaho that the state has decided to allow all of its hospitals to ration care as they struggle to keep up with the onslaught of patients.
“The massive increase of COVID-19 patients requiring hospitalization in all areas of the state has exhausted existing resources,” the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare announced Thursday, expanding a similar declaration from last week that was limited to the northern part of the state.
The department said it was activating what it called “crisis standards of care,” which help doctors and nurses decide how to allocate resources during an overwhelming public health emergency, like the coronavirus pandemic. Crisis standards can also offer legal protection to medical staff who are forced to make hard decisions about which patients they should prioritize.
